Trump to describe assassination attempt in RNC remarks

The former president during his Thursday night speech at the Republican National Convention will describe the shooting last Saturday at a campaign rally.

“As you already know, the assassin’s bullet came within a quarter of an inch of taking my life. So many people have asked me what happened, and therefore, I’ll tell you what happened, and you’ll never hear it from me a second time, because it’s too painful to tell,” Trump will say, according to excerpts.

“Despite such a heinous attack, we unite this evening more determined than ever. Our resolve is unbroken, and our purpose is unchanged — to deliver a government that serves the American People,” he will say.
