The explanation was the most definitive to date after the bureau’s director had earlier suggested the former president might have been hit by shrapnel, igniting a political storm.

“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 FBI said in a statement Friday.

The statement came two days after FBI Director Christopher Wray said during congressional testimony that it was not clear whether Trump’s injuries were caused by a bullet or shrapnel.

In congressional testimony this week, FBI Director Christopher Wray had said “there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel” that hit the former president.

The FBI says former President Donald Trump was struck in the ear by a bullet during an assassination attempt on July 13, as the agency moved Friday to clarify what happened after nearly two weeks of confusion and conflicting accounts.

Ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok reached a settlement with the Justice Department that includes a $1.2 million payout in the lawsuit over the department’s 2018 release of his text messages, his lawyers said Friday.

Fired FBI agent Peter Strzok will receive $1.2 million. Terms were not immediately disclosed by former bureau lawyer Lisa Page.

The FBI has ended speculation on the matter, telling Fox News that Trump was indeed struck with a bullet.

Former FBI agent Peter Strzok reaches $1.2 million settlement with DOJ, his lawyers said.

Peter Strzok, a former F.B.I. agent, and Lisa Page, a former lawyer for the bureau, accused the Trump administration of violating their privacy after it provided explosive texts to the news media.

Speculation has gained traction in recent days that former President Donald Trump may not have been hit by a bullet, but by shrapnel, during an assassination attempt earlier this month.

Wray said it’s not clear yet whether it might have been shrapnel.

Sen. Lindsey Graham pressed FBI Director Wray to revise his claim about whether a bullet or shrapnel hit Trump at his July 13 Pennsylvania rally.

A new analysis of the Pennsylvania rally shooting found evidence that “strongly suggests” a bullet hit former President Trump’s ear; two others came dangerously close to wounding him.

The FBI is seeking to interview Donald Trump in its investigation of the assassination attempt to obtain a victim statement, a standard part of the investigation because he is a crime victim, according to US official.

An absence of medical records or official accounts has stirred confusion, but a Times video and trajectory analysis indicates a bullet, not debris, wounded the former president.
