Trump Unloads on Chris Wray After FBI Boss Bizarrely Questions Whether He Was Actually Shot
As we’ve been reporting, FBI Director Chris Wray testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday, and as our Susie Moore wrote, he was more candid than usual (although that’s not saying much). There was one puzzling exchange he had with Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), however, that turned heads and earned a strong condemnation from Donald Trump.
Despite the fact that eight shots rang out on July 13 during a Pennsylvania campaign rally, despite retired fire chief Corey Comperatore being killed by gunfire and two others injured, and despite the fact that the GOP nominee’s doctor who actually treated the wound described it as a gunshot injury, Wray wasn’t convinced.
Responding to a question from Jordan, Wray said:
“With respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear.”

I'm unclear why there's "some question" when the former president's physician said quite clearly Trump "sustained a gunshot wound to the right ear":
The author of the above letter, Dr. Ronny Jackson, noted that the bullet came less than a quarter inch from entering the former president's head.
“As reported and witnessed by the entire world, he sustained a gunshot wound to the right ear from a high-powered rifle used by the would-be assassin,” former White House physician and current Congressman Ronny Jackson said in a statement on Saturday, a week after the shooting.
“The bullet track produced a 2 cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear,” wrote [Rep] Jackson, (R-Texas), noting he examined Trump the night he was shot.
“There was initially significant bleeding, followed by marked swelling of the entire upper ear.”

Trump himself was not amused and lit into Wray:
“Anyone who believes this conspiracy bulls–t is either mentally deficient or willfully peddling falsehoods for political reasons,” Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told The Post.
“We have seen there is no depth low enough for the Biden-Harris Administration. So it’s not surprising they are doing this now,” he added.
Trump was also disgusted by what he considers Wray's gaslighting of the public regarding Joe Biden's mental deterioration. He called for the director's resignation, writing, "WRAY has to resign, and NOW, for LYING TO CONGRESS!"
It's unclear why Wray would so irresponsibly question Jackson's medical determination. Unless he has some new information that he is willing to share publicly, casting doubt will just fuel conspiracy theories and rile up the leftist tinfoil hat crowd. I can't read the man's mind, so I don't know his motive, but I can think of no other reason he would do this.
It's irresponsible and unprofessional.
