Overview
- Photographs taken Thursday in late August show Bill and Hillary Clinton departing a Hamptons airport with a bag identified by outlets as a Propaq MD Air Medical Bag, a transport monitor and defibrillator.
- The couple boarded a private plane, with Bill, 79, wearing a blue jacket and tan hat and Hillary, 77, in a black sweatshirt over a blue outfit, escorted by security.
- Bill Clinton’s medical history includes an emergency quadruple bypass in 2004 and stent placement in 2010, along with multiple subsequent hospitalizations.
- He was treated for a urological infection that led to sepsis in 2021 and was hospitalized last December for fever before being discharged after flu treatment, according to spokesperson Angel Urena.
- Clinton has not publicly disclosed needing a portable defibrillator, and the sighting coincides with August 5 subpoenas summoning both Clintons for October depositions in the House Oversight Committee’s Epstein-related probe.
