Former President Donald Trump announced Friday that he would hold another campaign rally at the same site where he survived an assassination attempt less than two weeks earlier.
Trump said the upcoming rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, will remember firefighter and rally participant Corey Comperatore, who was killed in the attack, as well as other injured people.
“FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!” Trump wrote in all caps in a post on Truth Social announcing the rally, referring to the three words he said to his supporters in the moments after the July 13 shooting.
Trump suffered a minor injury to his ear in the incident. He and his former White House doctor, current Congressman Ronny Jackson, believe the injury was caused by the assassin's bullet.
FBI Director Christopher Wray testified on Wednesday that Trump's injury may have been caused by shrapnel, angering the Republican presidential candidate's allies.
Trump's post Friday afternoon lacked details about when and where the rally would take place. Trump's campaign is planning indoor rallies in light of the assassination attempt, sources familiar with the campaign told NBC News. The US Secret Service has reportedly instructed Trump's campaign to stop holding outdoor rallies.
