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.
