There is “absolutely no doubt” in the FBI that former President Donald Trump was hit with a would-be assassin’s bullet on July 13 during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate testified Tuesday to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“There is absolutely no doubt in the FBI’s mind whether former President Trump was hit with a bullet and wounded in the ear,” Abbate said in the hearing, after he was asked by Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., if the FBI had doubts that the Republican presidential nominee had been shot in the ear with a bullet.
“There is no doubt and there never has been,” Abbate stressed. “I’ve been part of this investigation from the very beginning. That has never been raised.”
“You are sure?” Kennedy asked him. “It wasn’t a space laser?”
“No,” Abbate replied.
“It wasn’t a murder hornet?” Kennedy asked.
“Absolutely not,” said Abbate.
“It wasn’t Sasquatch?” said the senator.
“No, senator,” the witness replied. “It was a bullet, senator.”
“Fired by [Thomas] Crooks at President Trump in the air and almost killed him?” Kennedy further pressed Abbate, who replied “100%, senator.”
Tuesday’s hearing is being held one day after the FBI released further details about its probe of the shooting, including information that Crooks had sought information online about power plants, improvised explosive devices, mass shootings, and an assassination attempt in May of Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico.
Trump has agreed to be interviewed by the FBI as a crime victim, the agency said, after reporting last week that he had been hit in the ear either by a bullet or a fragment.
The former president said he expects the interview to be held Thursday.
Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy called on President Joe Biden to send jets to Ukraine, saying he has a “wishbone where he ought to have a backbone.”🤣
“I think that sometimes, not always but sometimes, particularly in this instance, President Biden has a wishbone where his backbone ought to be,” Kennedy said Tuesday. “Poland offered to send the planes, which Ukraine desperately needs, to an American and NATO air force base in Germany where they would be transferred to Ukraine. President Biden said ‘no, that makes me nervous.’ Well, there are other ways we can do it.”
“It seems to me that President Biden is saying ‘I don’t want President Zelenskyy to have the air cover that he needs, and I think that is a grave mistake,” he continued. “I know it makes the president nervous, but the Ukrainian people are dying.”
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby denied Poland’s request for the U.S. to transfer Polish MiG jets to Ukraine from the base in Ramstein, Germany, last week. He said, however, that the country would continue cooperating with Poland on aiding Ukraine. Kennedy then said Biden needs to “stand up to the wokers” and produce oil domestically to “help our friends in Europe.”
“The president needs to stand up to the wokers in his own party and say ‘look, I know this is gonna make you hyperventilate on your yoga mats, but I am adopting an all of the above energy policy, which includes wind and solar, but we’re going to start producing oil and gas to help our friends in Europe.”
Biden banned all imports of Russian oil on March 8 due to Russian President Vladimir Putin waging war in Ukraine. Energy production makes up about 40% of Russia’s economy, and they are the third largest oil producer in the world.
The president revoked the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline, which intended to transfer 8,000 oil barrels from Canada to Texas, then canceled new federal leases for oil and gas companies. White House press secretary Jen Psaki, along with other administration officials, have denied that returning these policies will solve the issue of rising gas prices.
