Dr. Ronny Jackson, the former White House physician, informed Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” that Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle misled him during a meeting.
Dr. Jackson conducted an examination of Trump’s ear injury and provided treatment for the wound.
“The bullet passed, coming less than a quarter of an inch from entering his head, and struck the top of his right ear. The bullet track produced a 2 cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear. There was initially significant bleeding, followed by marked swelling of the entire upper ear. The swelling has since resolved, and the wound is beginning to granulate and heal properly. Based on the highly vascular nature of the ear, there is still intermittent bleeding requiring a dressing to be in place. Given the broad and blunt nature of the wound itself, no sutures were required,” Dr. Ronny Jackson wrote in a summary.
Dr. Jackson informed Maria Bartiromo that he had attended a Secret Service meeting after the attempted assassination of Trump, during which Director Kimberly Cheatle blatantly lied to him.
Cheatle directly told Dr. Jackson that her agency had never rejected any requests for resources pertaining to Trump’s security.
As a result, Dr. Jackson demanded Cheatle’s resignation from her position as Secret Service Director.
WATCH:
The Secret Service repeatedly denied concerned agents’ requests for additional security for President Trump before a potential assassin fired multiple shots at him during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania last Saturday, according to a leak reported by The Washington Post.
President Trump was grazed in the ear during the incident when 20-year-old gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks climbed onto a roof and opened fire on Trump and the rally attendees.

The gunman’s attempt on Trump’s life was not due to a lack of security, as the Secret Service identified Crooks as a threat before Trump’s appearance but refused to take action.
During a Senate briefing, it was revealed that the Secret Service had flagged Crooks as suspicious 10 minutes prior to Trump’s arrival on stage.
Witnesses also spotted Thomas Matthew Crooks bear crawling on the roof and alerted law enforcement.
Despite identifying the roof as a security vulnerability days before the event, the Secret Service did not secure it adjacent to Trump’s rally.
Additionally, Crooks reportedly flew a drone over the fairgrounds in Butler, Pennsylvania, capturing aerial footage shortly before Trump’s appearance at last Saturday’s rally.
The Washington Post disclosed that despite repeated requests from Trump’s security for heightened protection at public events, the Secret Service repeatedly rebuffed these appeals.
Sean Davis from The Federalist further reported that former President Trump’s security detail had requested increased protection for weeks but had been consistently denied by Biden’s Department of Homeland Security just two hours after the failed assassination attempt on Trump.

Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi denied this.

After initially denying the truth of the story multiple times, Guglielmi eventually confessed to the Washington Post that Trump had been denied increased protection.
Kimberly Cheatle is scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee on Monday.
