In the wake of the assassination attempt against former US president Donald Trump last month, Texas congressman Ronny Jackson offered insight into the extent of the injuries to Trump’s ear and detailed the treatment he had after the attack. One week after the incident, in a memo released by Trump’s campaign office – the former president is running for re-election in November – Jackson said the gunshot wound to the right ear came “less than a quarter of an inch from entering his head”, per AP News. He added that the wound was 2cm wide and that Trump was still experiencing intermittent bleeding at the time.
