Hillary Clinton has been under treatment for pneumonia, her doctor said on Sunday after the Democratic nominee abruptly left a 9/11 memorial service in NY, raising questions about her health and its effect on her campaign.

On Monday Trump claimed that candidates’ health was a legitimate campaign issue, and said he had undergone a physical in recent days.
Clinton was taken to her daughter’s apartment, about three miles away.
Trump told CNBC on Monday that he would probably release information about his own health this week. Fallon said he “can attest” that there is “no other undisclosed condition”.
“Well if it is, it’s a mystery to me and all of her doctors”, Clinton said.
Clinton later expressed “regret” on Saturday for saying that half of Trump’s supporters were deplorable. Hopefully, Hillary feels good, too. “I should say that as soon as she got in the vehicle, she was alert the whole time and was telling staff that she was fine She was actually making calls to aides from the auto and she ended up going to her daughter Chelsea’s apartment”. Hours later, Clinton’s doctor Dr. Lisa Bardack said the presidential candidate has a case of pneumonia. Clinton unexpectedly left Sunday’s 9/11 anniversary ceremony in NY after feeling “overheated”, according to her campaign.
Mr Trump, 70, and Mrs Clinton, 68, are among the oldest United States presidential candidates in history. “She had a good night’s sleep she’s doing fine”, he said.
Clinton later emerged from her daughter Chelsea’s apartment where she waved to supporters. Her campaign later announced that she had been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday. But on Sunday, he was mum about the incident, according to the AP.
The candidate had been due to leave for California on Monday morning for a two-day trip that included fundraisers, a speech on the economy, and an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.
However, Donald Trump was also at the memorial in NY on Sunday, and the campaign did not coordinate with his press pool so that they could attend.
Trump said Clinton’s medical episode had turned the candidates’ health into “an issue” in the campaign.
Amid heated exchange of words against Clinton last week, Trump said he respected the people who are rallying support against his contender. She had made a full recovery from surgery she underwent in 2012 for a blood clot, the doctor added.
Trump in fact argued that Lauer wasn’t easy on him, but that Trump simply answered questions better than Hillary Clinton.
“I’m not going to get into details about who knew her medical information”, Mook responded.
