From Breitbart: Newsweek is facing social media backlash after downplaying the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump by suggesting he was only hit with part of a bullet instead of an intact bullet.
The Newsweek article is titled “Donald Trump Might Not Have Been Shot After All.”
Newsweek attempts to justify this title by pointing to testimony from FBI Director Christopher Wray, wherein Wray said, “…With respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear.”
In a series of social media posts, Newsweek wrote, “Donald Trump might not have been shot after all…”
“FBI Director Christopher Wray said on Wednesday that it was not clear whether former President Donald Trump was shot or hit by shrapnel when a gunman opened fire at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, earlier this month.”

“A week after the shooting, the Trump campaign released a doctor’s note from Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson—who had served as Trump’s White House physician—that said Trump sustained a gunshot wound to his right ear.
“Wray testified before the House Judiciary Committee that it is not yet certain if Trump’s injury was caused by a bullet or shrapnel.”

This is the author of this post, FWIW.
Rather than just hit Newsweek, put her name out.
She’s Khaleda Rahman and she’s based in the UK not even in America.
Absolute abhorrent woman. pic.twitter.com/vO2QjnttkV

@Khaleda pretty bold to post this bullshit when you’re across the pond in the UK. A quick search quickly showed your political ideologies on display.
You should resign immediately for posting such slanted drivel.

I remember when you wrote multiple false hit pieces about me for sharing factual information about the US-funded Biolabs in Ukraine.
Said I was a “Russian disinformation asset” and “conspiracy theorist”.
I was right.
Now you all have turned to conspiracy theory? How ironic. pic.twitter.com/XyDmgv09K3

This is the most insane take I’ve ever seen.
Delete your account.
You’re the reason Americans are deceived.

There is a photo, but Wray “SAYS SO.”
Y’all are the biggest frauds, ever.
