Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) openly challenged the testimony of FBI Director Christopher Wray on Friday, voicing his strong disagreement with the idea that former President Donald Trump wasn’t hit by a bullet during an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania earlier this month.

Jackson, who served as Trump’s personal physician during his presidency, issued a public letter where he underlined medical evidence and insights from his direct examination illustrating that Trump had indeed been struck by a bullet. This was in response to Director Wray’s congressional declaration wherein he implied uncertainty about what exactly hit Trump’s ear.

In the widely-shared comminique, Jackson specifics, “The attempted assassin fired numerous rounds from a fairly close proximity using a high-powered rifle, one of which hit the former president, who is now the Republican Presidential Nominee, in his right ear.” It is important to note that two other individuals also sustained injuries from the attack while 50-year-old Corey Comperatore tragically lost his life.

Wray stated during Wednesday’s testimony that Trump could’ve been hit by shrapnel or glass rather than a bullet—a claim heavily contested by Jackson. “There is unequivocally no proof suggesting it was anything but a bullet,” asserted Jackson on Friday. He further implored Congress to rectify this record, corroborated by him and hospital records both indicating that it indeed was a gunshot wound.

Moreover, Jackson used his letter to update everyone regarding former President Trump’s well-being post-incident: “Allow me to reassure both American citizens and international friends alike—the President is recuperating remarkably fast from the injury. As always I remain at total disposal of President Trump and his personal doctor in any capacity they require while ensuring timely updates upon authorized agreement with President Trump.”

In addition to these medical updates,rTrump himself didn’t hold back on expressing severe criticism against Wray last Thursday—sharply slamming not just for this incident but also his overall leadership of the Federal Bureau. Via a communication on Truth Social, he questioned Wray’s assertions around him being hit by a “bullet, shrapnel, or glass” then went on to lash out at him for ignoring massive issues involving terrorism and crime in the country.
