The Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump received a two-centimeter-wide gunshot wound to his outer ear after last week's assassination attempt, according to former White House doctor and politician Ronny Jackson.

"The bullet was less than a quarter of an inch from entering his head and hit the top of his right ear," says Jackson in a statement published by Trump's campaign staff.

The bullet ripped open a two-centimeter-wide wound down to the cartilage of his outer ear, according to Jackson. No stitches were needed, but a bandage was applied to stop the bleeding.

"There was initial significant bleeding, followed by marked swelling of the entire upper ear," says the doctor, adding that the swelling has subsided and the wound has begun to heal properly.

Ronny Jackson, who was Trump's doctor in the White House and is now a Republican member of the House of Representatives, reports that he examined the former president in New Jersey late on Saturday local time after Trump returned from Pennsylvania. Trump initially received care from medical personnel at a hospital in Butler where the shooting took place.

"In summary, former President Trump is doing well, and he is recovering as expected from the gunshot wound he received on Saturday afternoon," says Jackson.
