A week after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, former White House physician and current Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) issued a statement providing details about the former president’s injuries sustained in the shooting.

A gunman opened fire during a July 13 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, hitting former President Trump in the ear. Since then, little detailed information has emerged about the injury the former president suffered.
