After leaving the hospital safe following an assassination attempt, former U.S. President Donald Trump's plane departed from Pennsylvania and arrived at Newark Airport, where he will head to his summer resort in New Jersey, according to CNN.
The president underwent necessary tests at the hospital and discharged in good health. The network confirmed that the president's plane arrived at Newark Airport, where he will go to his summer resort in New Jersey. Trump also confirmed in a post on Truth Social Saturday evening that he was shot, and the bullet penetrated the upper part of his right ear.
The former president wrote, "I was shot in the upper part of my right ear," and continued, "I bled a lot and realized what was happening." In his first reaction since the shooting at a rally in Pennsylvania, he deemed it inconceivable that such an act could occur in his country. He emphasized that he would never give up, referring to the assassination attempt he faced on Saturday evening.
For its part, the FBI confirmed during a late Saturday press conference that the shooting targeting Republican candidate Donald Trump was an assassination attempt. Kevin Rojek from the FBI told reporters in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump was holding a large campaign rally when the shooting occurred, "This evening, we witnessed what we consider an assassination attempt against our former president Donald Trump."
