Rand Paul says he had surgery to remove part of lung

Rand Paul said he underwent surgery over the weekend to remove part of his lung.

The Republican senator was injured in November 2017 when he was attacked by his neighbor while doing yard work in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

The neighbor, Rene Boucher, pleaded guilty in 2018 to assaulting a member of Congress and was sentenced to 30 days in prison. Boucher said he was angry with Paul for stacking debris near their property line.
