The FBI has reportedly confirmed former President Donald Trump was indeed shot by a bullet, ending speculation about what exactly bloodied Trump’s ear.
The agency told Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich in a statement on Friday afternoon, “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 statement read. The statement was also posted by Fox’s Bret Baier.
The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Beast.
