Ronny Jackson, ex-White House physician to Trump, says former president was hit in ear by bullet

Washington — Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson of Texas, who served as physician to former President Donald Trump at the White House, said Friday that the former president was hit by a bullet in hit right ear when a gunman opened fire at his rally in Pennsylvania.

Jackson wrote in a memorandum to "concerned citizens of the United States" that was shared to social media that he has continued to monitor Trump's health following the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.

"The would-be assassin fired multiple rounds from a relatively close distance using a high-powered rifle, with one bullet striking the former president, and now the Republican nominee for president, in his right ear," Jackson wrote.
