Former President Donald Trump used his Truth Social platform Thursday night to attack FBI Director Christopher Wray after his congressional hearing on the assassination of Trump.
Wray testified that he wasn't sure if it was a bullet that hit Trump in the ear while he was at an outdoor rally in Butler on July 13.
"I think with respect to former President Trump there is a question of whether or not a bullet or shrapnel hit his ear," Wray said at Wednesday's hearing.
Trump, who appointed Wray as FBI director in 2017, clashed with his former appointee after the hearing.
"FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress yesterday that he wasn't sure if I was hit by shards of glass or a bullet (the FBI never even checked!). Wrong!" Trump wrote.
"That's why he knows nothing about the terrorists and other criminals pouring into our country in record numbers. His sole focus is destroying J6 Patriots, raiding Mar-a-Lago, and rescuing Radical Leftist lunatics like those now in DC burning American flags, and spray painting our great National Monuments – with zero impunity ".
"No, unfortunately it was a bullet that hit my ear and hit it hard. There were no splinters. The hospital called it a "bullet in the ear", and so it was. No wonder the former FBI has lost America's trust!"
Trump was shot in his right ear at the rally, and US Secret Service agents rushed to surround him, take him off the stage and help him down the stairs and into a waiting vehicle.
The alleged gunman, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was shot dead by the Secret Service. Two other people were injured in the shooting, and former firefighter Corey Comperatore died at the scene protecting his family.
Trump was treated and released at a nearby hospital and then appeared at the Republican National Convention just days later with a bandage over his ear.
Kimberly Cheatle, who was the director of the Secret Service at the time, faced calls for her resignation, which she vehemently said she would not back down. After her testimony before Congress this week, Cheatle resigned.
Wray now faces similar scrutiny, including from House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.
"We've all seen the video, we've seen the analysis, we've heard it from multiple sources at different angles that a bullet went through his ear. I'm not sure it matters that much," Johnson said at the hearing.
