Donald Trump said that he “accepted” an “apology” from the FBI after the bureau confirmed he had been shot by a bullet during an assassination attempt earlier this month.

Trump was speaking on Friday night at The Believers' Summit 2024 at a Turning Point Action event in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Earlier on Friday, the FBI confirmed Trump had been clipped in the ear by a gunman’s bullet 13 days ago at a Pennsylvania rally.

“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 bureau said in a statement.

Trump also says he will return to Butler, Pennsylvania , the scene of the attempt on his life on July 13, to hold “a big and beautiful rally’ to honor firefighter Corey Comperatore, who died that day when struck by gunfire.

On Friday, the former president hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his home in Palm Beach. Trump said he found Kamala Harris ’s remarks about the Israel-Hamas conflict after her meeting with Netanyahu “disrespectful”.
