The Secret Service has been reeling since Thomas Matthew Crooks shot Trump at the July 13 rally from about 400 feet away, grazing the former president’s right ear. Crooks killed a rallygoer and injured two more before being killed by snipers.
Trump has not held an outdoor rally since, though he appeared outdoors for a news conference on Thursday at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
