Trump hit by bullet at Pennsylvania rally, FBI confirms amid investigation | LiveNOW from FOX

Two weeks after Donald Trump was nearly assassinated at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the FBI confirmed in a statement that it was indeed a bullet that struck the former president’s ear.

The FBI statement read, “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.”

The agency wanted to clear up conflicting accounts of what caused Trump’s injuries after a gunman opened fire on him, killing retired fire chief Corey Comperatore, and wounding two other supporters.

Federal investigators identified the gunman as Thomas Matthew Crooks, but said it does not have a clear idea of his motive.

LiveNOW's Josh Breslow discusses the multiple investigations into the shooting with Mike Harrigan, a retired chief of the FBI's firearms training program and current principal at Pax Group, LLC.

FBI now confirms that big hot yellow thing in the sky is in fact the sun.

[sharonoverton]

Oh, two weeks after "they decided "he was hit by a bullet..what a bunch of idiots..😮

[tombaron]

This administration and our government offices and employees are an absolute joke.

[DavidDiaz-jvgn]

Do you even need a high school diploma to work for the FBI?

[Montana.Brazil]

If someone else got killed as a bystander what the heck did they get hit with ? Did they forget their own story?

[scottybeats]

this is not what the people want to hear... We already knew he got shot at, and it hit his ear, I thought that was a given.. We want to know why a kid with a rifle was able to climb a roof in front of so many people, and police officers without any fucks given..

[mramerican]

Why do I keep seeing this?!? The media at its finest. Idiocracy is becoming real life.

[geneticdisorder]

Do those investigators want a raise or think they deserve a bonus for figuring that out ??

[Koldatt]

Glad they cleared that up. I wonder if anyone got hurt? I suppose we will have to wait for more information from the 3 letter agencies...

[MrTable]

Thank you fbi, this whole time i thought his ear just exploded

[damianspalma]

Glad to see my tax dollars are working hard
Who would have guessed a bullet came out of a gun. Riveting

[greyscout]

Fragmented?? From what? What a ridiculous thing the FBI has become.

[MOFUSADIBOS]

That’s ridiculous. 2 weeks later. Totally embarrassing on the FBI. The whole world saw it. Wray needs to resign

[christianbritton]

Lololol WTH? What a joke. Anyone who watched a bullet “strike Trump” on live TV knew that 2 Saturdays ago!

[ladamsfrog]

Like we needed him to confirm what millions of us watched?! I couldn't care less what Wray thinks. He is corrupt and needs to be gone like yesterday.

[gwenroberts]

I want to hear from the ER doctors who saw turmp immediately after it happened.
NOT the FBI.
NOT the former WH doc who let his license lapse.
I’ll wait.

[ME-mlxp]

I'm surprised they didn't claim he cut himself shaving.

[Matthew-tfxe]

Weeks later FBI finally confirms a shooter at the Pennsylvania Trump rally was an actual threat😂

[thisplaceisazoo]

The real question remains why did the sniper wait until the assassin got several shots off before neutralizing him? And who was in charge of layout?

[randydiffenbaugh]

It's horrible that the people who are supposed to protect you are the ones trying to kill you
