During a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing on Tuesday, FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate dismissed conspiracy theories about the shooting of former President Donald Trump.
Chris Wray, known for controversial actions like setting up innocent men in fake kidnapping plots and spying on Catholics at church, made a statement against President Trump during his testimony before Congress last Wednesday.
Wray implied that it was shrapnel, not a bullet, that caused Trump’s injury at the Butler rally.
With respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,’ Wray said during Congressional hearing.
‘I don’t know right now whether that bullet, in addition to causing the grazing, could have landed somewhere else,’ he added.
On Thursday of last week, President Donald Trump issued a response to Chris Wray’s deplorable allegations.
Via Donald J. Trump at Truth Social:
“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!
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!
During the hearing on Tuesday, FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate refuted conspiracy theories about the shooting of former President Donald Trump that had been promoted by his own boss, FBI Director Chris Wray.
Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) used the opportunity to clarify the facts as well.
SEN. JOHN KENNEDY: “Is there any doubt in your mind or in the collective mind of the FBI that President Trump was shot in the ear by a bullet fired by the assassin?”
FBI DEPUTY DIRECTOR PAUL ABBATE: “There is absolutely no doubt in the FBI’s mind … There never had been.”
SEN. KENNEDY: “It wasn’t a space laser?”
ABBATE: “No.”
SEN. KENNEDY: “It wasn’t a murder hornet?”
ABBATE: “Absolutely not.”
SEN. KENNEDY: “It wasn’t Sasquatch?”
ABBATE: “No, Senator.”
SEN. KENNEDY: “Glad we cleared that up.
