Trump shooting updates: Shooter flew drone 200 yards from site hours before shooting

Donald Trump's former White House physician, Rep. Ronny Jackson, has been examining the former president since the assassination attempt last week and has stayed by his side during the RNC.

He provided an update on the former president's health in a letter stating Trump is doing "well" and recovering "as expected."

"There was initially significant bleeding, followed by marked swelling of the entire upper ear. The swelling has since resolved, and the wound is beginning to granulate and heal properly. Based on the highly vascular nature of the ear, there is still intermittent bleeding requiring a dressing to be in place. Given the broad and blunt nature of the wound itself, no sutures were required," Jackson said.

Jackson added the bullet came less than a quarter of an inch from entering Trump's head, producing a "2 cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear."

Trump had a precautionary CT scan while in Butler, according to Jackson.

Members of the House Homeland Security Committee announced Saturday they will visit the site of Trump’s July 13 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Committee Chairman Mark Green, R-TX, will be joined by 10 members of the Homeland Security Committee for the visit Monday morning and there will be a media availability afterward.

This comes as the committee is investigating the security failures surrounding the attempted assassination of Trump.

Department of Homeland Security leadership, including DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, pushed back on those who are criticizing women on former President Donald Trump's security detail.

“In the days following the attempted assassination of former President Trump, some people have made public statements questioning the presence of women in law enforcement, including in the United States Secret Service," senior DHS leaders wrote in a statement. "These assertions are baseless and insulting."

The leaders called women in law enforcement "selfless patriots" who will make law enforcement better.
