Rand Paul recovering from broken ribs after assault
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. - Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is recovering from five broken ribs and bruises to his lungs, and it is unclear when he will return to Washington, D.C., aides said Sunday, signaling that injuries he sustained Friday are far more severe than initially thought.
He was allegedly attacked by a next-door neighbor, Rene Boucher, 59, who was charged with fourth-degree assault.
Paul made his first public comments since the incident on Sunday, tweeting that his wife 'Kelley and I appreciate the overwhelming support after Friday's unfortunate event. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.”
