Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said Monday that he had to get a part of his lung removed over the weekend after it was damaged when a neighbor attacked him on his front lawn in 2017.
"Unfortunately, I will have to limit my August activities. Part of my lung damaged by the 2017 assault had to be removed by surgery this weekend," Paul said in a tweet.
Paul had surgery in Canada in late January to treat the injury sustained when his neighbor attacked him on his front lawn.
Paul's neighbor, Rene Boucher, tackled Paul on his front lawn in November 2017, breaking six of the senator's ribs and bruising his lungs.
Paul said Boucher, 60, assaulted him while he was mowing his lawn.
In a 2017 op-ed published by CNN, Paul's wife Kelley said her husband and Boucher did not have any past issues, nor was there a dispute that led to the attack.
Kelley Paul mentioned that the senator "Has rarely" seen Boucher due to the fact her husband is always traveling and spends most of his time in Washington, D.C. After originally denying the attack, Boucher in statements to the FBI and Kentucky State Police admitted to running onto Paul's property and tackling the senator after seeing him stacking more brush on a pile.
