Donald Trump is meeting with the FBI for a victim interview according to the agency.
They are a normal part of a criminal investigation but are voluntary.
Donald Trump has agreed to sit for a victim interview with the FBI, which is investigating this month’s attempted assassination, an agency official said Monday.
Victim interviews are a routine part of criminal investigations, but are voluntary.
The FBI recently confirmed that Donald Trump was struck by a bullet.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reportedly confirmed that former President Donald Trump had been “struck” by a “bullet” at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Fox News’s Bret Baier wrote in a post on X that the FBI had reportedly clarified Trump had been struck by a bullet “whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces.”

“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 from the agency said.
FBI Director Christopher Wray had previously left open the possibility Donald Trump wasn’t hit by a bullet.
Wray said, “As I said, I think with respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear. So it’s conceivable, as I sit here right now, I don’t know whether that bullet in addition to, you know, causing the grazing, could have also landed somewhere else. But I believe we’ve accounted for all of the shots in the cartridges.”
One day after FBI Director Christopher Wray left open the possibility that a gunman’s bullet may not have struck former President Donald Trump, a liberal news outlet is picking up the idea and running with it.
Under the banner headline “Donald Trump Might Not Have Been Shot After All,” Newsweek national correspondent Khaleda Rahman reviews Wray’s comments on Wednesday before a House oversight hearing where he provided an update on the FBI’s investigation into the Secret Service’s failure to protect President Trump from a 20-year-old deranged gunman. In his remarks, the Bureau chief said it remains unclear whether Trump was struck in the right ear with a round from the gunman’s AR-15 rifle or injured by shrapnel, possibly from a teleprompter screen that was also struck. Following the shooting Trump told his followers on Truth Social that he was “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.”

In between grillings by his colleagues, Oversight Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) asked the director, “We obviously know that Mr. Comperatore lost his life…two other rallygoers were injured, seriously injured, and then the one that hit President Trump. Does that account for…were some of these individuals hit multiple times?” Jordan asked. “Where did all eight bullets go, is I guess my question.”
Wray did not have the answer but stated, “As I said, I think with respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear. So it’s conceivable, as I sit here right now, I don’t know whether that bullet in addition to, you know, causing the grazing, could have also landed somewhere else. But I believe we’ve accounted for all of the shots in the cartridges.”
