The FBI has decided to interview former President Donald Trump as it investigates the assassination attempt against him.
The agency is looking for a victim impact statement, which is standard in these cases, CNN reported.
“Since the day of the attack, the FBI has been consistent and clear that the shooting was an attempted assassination of former President Trump, which resulted in his injury, as well as the death of a heroic father and the injuries of several other victims,” the agency said.
Earlier this week, however, FBI Director Christopher Wray caused controversy when he said he was not certain that the former president was hit by a bullet.
“There’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,” the FBI Director said to Congress.
“As I sit here right now, I don’t know whether that bullet, in addition to causing the grazing, could have also landed somewhere else,” he said.
The furious former president set the record straight on his Truth Social account after the FBI Director’s testimony.
“FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress yesterday that he wasn’t sure if I was hit by shrapnel, glass, or a bullet (the FBI never even checked!), but he was sure that Crooked Joe Biden was physically and cognitively ‘uneventful’ – Wrong!” the former president said. “That’s why he knows nothing about the terrorists and other criminals pouring into our Country at record levels. His only focus is destroying J6 Patriots, Raiding Mar-a-Lago, and saving Radical Left Lunatics, like the ones now in D.C. burning American flags and spray painting over our great National Monuments – with zero retribution.”
“No, it was, unfortunately, a bullet that hit my ear and hit it hard. There was no glass. There was no shrapnel. The hospital called it a ‘bullet wound to the ear,’ and that is what it was. No wonder the once storied FBI has lost the confidence of America!” he said.
The FBI issued a press release after the testimony to confirm that, yes, the former president was struck by a bullet.
“What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle,” it said.
After watching Wray’s entire hearing, the former president called on him to resign.
“I watched the Congressional Hearing today as Christopher Wray was asked the question whether or not he noticed any Cognitive Degeneration in his many conversations with Crooked Joe Biden and, despite the fact that Special Counsel Robert Hur said, effectively, that Joe Biden is INCOMPETENT, with LITTLE MEMORY, etc., Wray said that ‘it is not something I observed during my interactions with him, which were uneventful and unremarkable,’ essentially stating that he found nothing wrong, mentally or physically, with ‘Joe,’” he said.
“If that is the case, Director Wray should resign immediately from the FBI, and stop ‘sweet talking’ Congress every time he goes up, which he loves to do, because anybody can see that Joe Biden is cognitively and physically challenged, and if you can’t see that, you sure as hell can’t be running the FBI – Unless, that is, you want to illegally lead the Raid on Mar-a-Lago,” he said. “Wray has to resign, and NOW, for LYING TO CONGRESS!”
The former president also announced on Friday that he would be returning to Butler, PA, the site of the shooting, for another rally.
“I WILL BE GOING BACK TO BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA, FOR A BIG AND BEAUTIFUL RALLY, HONORING THE SOUL OF OUR BELOVED FIREFIGHTING HERO, COREY, AND THOSE BRAVE PATRIOTS INJURED TWO WEEKS AGO. WHAT A DAY IT WILL BE — FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! STAY TUNED FOR DETAILS,” he said.
