FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate has confirmed that there is no doubt former President Donald Trump was hit by a bullet during a shooting incident that wounded him in the ear. This statement directly contradicts earlier testimony by FBI Director Chris Wray, who suggested Trump could have been hit by glass or shrapnel. Abbate's assertion was made during a congressional hearing, where he emphasized that the FBI has always been certain about the nature of Trump's injury. Senator John Kennedy questioned Abbate, who reiterated the FBI's certainty. The revelation has sparked controversy, with calls for accountability over the conflicting statements made by FBI leadership.
