President Trump’s health after assassination attempt
According to a CNN report, President Trump underwent a precautionary CT scan following the assassination attempt to check for any internal or missed injuries. The CT scan gave the former president the clean bill of health. No further injuries or trauma have been reported to President Trump so far.
“I was shot by a bullet, just above my right ear,” he said in his first statement since the shooting at the rally. “I heard a whoosh and a gunshot and felt the bullet go through my skin, so I knew right away something was wrong. I was bleeding badly and I knew what was going on,” he said after being quickly taken to a Pittsburgh-area hospital, according to a report in the New York Post.
He is currently recovering from his injury at home in New Jersey and is expected to travel to Milwaukee as originally planned.
