Overview

• Fresh images from Friday show a conspicuous patch of foundation on the back of President Trump’s right hand during visits to the People’s House museum and later in the Oval Office.
• Press secretary Karoline Leavitt reiterated that minor bruising is consistent with frequent handshakes and aspirin use, offering no new medical details.
• The White House has previously said tests found no deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease and diagnosed chronic venous insufficiency after leg swelling.
• After an April physical, White House physician Captain Sean Barbabella declared the president in excellent cognitive and physical health.
• Reporters noted Trump often kept his left hand over his right at Friday’s events as social media speculation and calls for greater medical transparency persisted, with a May poll finding 45% view his health disclosures as insufficient.
