Ivanka’s statement comes after Trump released a statement on Truth Social revealing that he had been “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part” of his right ear.
“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania,” the former president added. “Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured.”
