Former President Donald Trump credits immigration chart for saving his life during assassination attempt, according to former White House doctor.
Former President Donald Trump has credited an immigration chart he was looking at for saving his life during Saturday's assassination attempt, according to his former White House doctor, Ronny Jackson.
Trump reportedly told Jackson that if he had not turned his head slightly to look over and point at a chart featuring statistics on illegal immigration into the U.S., the bullet that grazed his ear would have hit his head more directly and killed him.
The reflection comes after a would-be assassin climbed atop a nearby roof and fired multiple rounds at the president during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, before being neutralized by U.S. Secret Service agents.
"He goes, 'The border patrol saved my life,'" Jackson recounted the president saying in an interview with The New York Times. "'I was going over that border patrol chart.' He said, 'If I hadn’t pointed at that chart and turned my head to look at it, that bullet would have hit me right in the head.'"
The immigration chart in reference features the enormous rise in illegal immigration under the Biden administration, according to The New York Times. Since fiscal year 2021, more than seven million illegal migrant encounters have been made by Border Patrol agents, according to the latest Customs and Border Protection data.
Jackson also revealed that his nephew was among those who were injured during the incident. "My nephew was injured at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania," the former White House doctor said. "Thankfully his injury was not serious and he is doing well."
The FBI has identified the shooter as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Parks, Pennsylvania, a town roughly 35 miles south of where the campaign rally was held. An AR-15-type semiautomatic rifle was reportedly recovered next to Crooks' body, and explosive devices were located in the vehicle he had driven, according to law enforcement officials.
A GoFundMe campaign sanctioned by Trump for the victims of the shooting has so far raised more than $3 million, according to the fundraising website.
In other news, NBC News has been accused of editing President Joe Biden's address following the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. The network reportedly edited Biden's speech to fix his errors, including changing "battle box" to "ballot box."
Meanwhile, Donald Trump Jr. was seen shooing away MSNBC reporters during a recent event. The incident was captured on video and has since gone viral on social media.
