White House Reaffirms Trump’s Health After October MRI

The press secretary restated the October memo after reporters asked why an MRI was performed.

Overview

  • Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Trump remains in exceptional physical health.
  • She cited an October 10 memo noting advanced imaging at Walter Reed as part of a routine physical examination.
  • Leavitt said attending radiologists and consultants reviewed the full results and agreed with the assessment.
  • Physician to the president Navy Capt. Sean P. Barbabella reported an ongoing health maintenance plan and said Trump exhibits strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and physical performance.
  • Earlier concerns over photos showing swollen legs and hand bruises were previously attributed by the White House to age-related venous issues and the use of aspirin with frequent handshaking.
