Former US President Donald Trump, who was wounded in the assassination attempt, criticized the FBI director for, in his opinion, an incompetent investigation into the incident.
⠀
“FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress yesterday (Wednesday) that he wasn’t sure whether I was hit by shrapnel, glass or a bullet. But the FBI didn’t even check!” – Trump wrote on the social network Truth Social.
⠀
According to Trump, who was injured during a campaign rally, the hospital confirmed that it was a “bullet wound to the ear.”
⠀
“It’s no surprise that the once famous FBI has lost America’s trust,” Trump added.
⠀
Earlier, the New York Post, citing a report to the American Congress, reported that local police units in the United States refuse to share information with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) due to a loss of trust in it due to political bias and incompetence.

At Trump’s campaign speech in Pennsylvania on July 13, a shooting occurred, the ex-president was wounded in the ear, one of the spectators was killed, and two others were critically injured. The US Secret Service said it had killed a suspect who fired several shots towards the stage. As the New York Post reported, he was hiding on the roof of a production building about 100 meters from the stage, outside the area where the event was being held. The FBI is investigating the incident as an assassination attempt and possible domestic terrorism. The bureau identified the suspect as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.
