We’re not? There was an assassination attempt, the FBI did some investigation and found he was likely not hit by the bullet, but was injured by the shooting. The injury was caused indirectly by a bullet, which is effectively the same as getting shot to everybody but the most pedantic.
The FBI definitively stated that he was hit by a bullet. After Wray said it was questionable if he was hit by a bullet, then FBI deputy director Abbate stated on July 30 that there was never any doubt that a bullet had struck Trump’s ear. Trump claims he was struck by a bullet. I don’t see or hear any media arguing that he wasn’t hit by the bullet. It kind of is a big deal to get the facts straight about if Trump was actually hit by a bullet or it is made up, and I’d think there would be some kind of way to find out.
The answer is simple: they thought wrong and updated the story after further investigation. This is actually a good thing, not evidence of a conspiracy. It’s not even evidence of great incompetence, but understandable human error.
