House Speaker Mike Johnson pushed back against FBI Director Christopher Wray’s testimony that former President Trump may not have been directly hit by a bullet during an assassination attempt. Wray stated that there was a question about whether it was a bullet or shrapnel that hit Trump’s ear, and the investigation is ongoing. Johnson criticized Wray’s testimony as not being credible and lacking transparency. Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung also criticized Wray, calling it a “conspiracy bulls—” and questioning his credibility. Former White House physician Rep. Ronny Jackson released a letter stating that he had evaluated and treated Trump’s wound daily and confirmed it was a gunshot wound caused by a high-powered rifle. Rep. Dan Goldman called for Trump to be honest about what happened and release medical records. Trump expressed outrage over Wray’s statement that he had not noticed any cognitive declines in President Biden, calling for Wray’s resignation. The lack of transparency and conflicting statements have raised concerns about the leadership of these agencies. The investigation into the assassination attempt at the rally in Pennsylvania continues.
