Jackson is countering increasing skepticism regarding the incident, asserting that claims suggesting Trump was not shot are &#8220;incorrect.&#8221; In a memo released on Friday, he detailed that the assailant fired several shots from a close range using a high-powered rifle, with one bullet hitting Trump in the right ear. Jackson emphasized that he has been monitoring Trump&#8217;s health since the shooting on July 13 and fully supports the initial medical assessment made by the staff at Butler Memorial Hospital.
