Senate Judiciary Ranking Member Lindsey Graham sent a letter on Friday to FBI Director Christopher Wray, urging him to recant his testimony in front of Congress where he questioned whether former President Donald Trump was hit by a bullet during an assassination attempt against him.
Trump was injured during a shooting at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. The incident also injured two others, and killed one person. The shooter was also killed by a Secret Service sniper.
Graham claimed Wray's testimony in front of the House Judiciary Committee where he made the comment that it was not clear whether Trump was hit by a bullet, glass, or shrapnel, was inaccurate.
“It is clear to everyone that President Trump survived an assassination attempt by millimeters, as the attempted assassin’s bullet ripped the upper part of his ear," Graham wrote to Wray, per The Hill. "This was made clear in briefings my office received and should not be a point of contention. Therefore, I urge you to immediately correct your statement and acknowledge that President Trump was hit by a bullet rather than glass or shrapnel."
“As head of the FBI, you should not be creating confusion about such matters, as it further undercuts the agency’s credibility with millions of Americans," he continued. "Please correct this statement immediately."
Wray has not commented on the calls for him to "correct the record" so far, but former White House physician Ronny Jackson, who now serves in the House, has also circulated a letter on Trump's health that maintains the former president was hit by a bullet.
