Donald Trump released lab results Thursday from a recent medical examination, with his personal physician stating that the Republican presidential candidate “is in excellent physical health”.
Mr. Trump had a physical exam on September 9 administered by Dr. Bornstein, who wrote a letter a year ago saying Mr. Trump would be the healthiest individual ever elected to the White House. Trump is 70, and if elected would be the oldest incoming president.
Trump’s Democratic rival was at home in Chappaqua, New York for a third straight day Wednesday, recovering from a health scare that has rocked her bid to become America’s first woman president.
Fox News Correspondent Joel Waldman is in Washington with the latest from the campaign trail. He recently underwent a colonoscopy and found no polyps.
While the letter from Trump’s doctor also covered his blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and other such measurements, his hand size was noticeably absent. According to Platt, Trump said he instructs the person picking up his food order to refrain from saying the food is for Trump – because he worries the food may be tampered with. Even though Trump said his border control policies are focused on immigrants in the USA illegally, that “doesn’t make it any better”.
Trump and his surrogates have repeatedly raised questions about Hillary Clinton’s health, which attracted more headlines after she stumbled while leaving a 9/11 memorial. “She continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as President of the United States”. While conservatives have been waiting for someone willing to “give it back to the left”, he said, with Trump, “it doesn’t quite hold water, because most of the assertions he’s making against her, he’s guilty of”.
Trump’s campaign appeared to refer to that episode when it said Trump “has the stamina to endure – uninterrupted – the rigors” of the campaign and presidency.
Hackers released more emails this week, including information from the World Anti-Doping Agency’s database.
Democratic lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee this week called on the Justice Department to open an investigation into the foundation.
“Whether you are a rogue hacker or a uniformed soldier, the shadowy corners of the internet will not provide respite for long”, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said.
Oz told Kilmeade that he wanted to keep the TV segment focused on Trump and Trump’s policies – “we’re not going to be talking about Secretary Clinton, for sure”, he said.
