Melania Trump, the wife of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, on Wednesday released a letter from an immigration attorney saying that she came to the country “100 percent” legally amid questions over whether she illegally worked in the USA before she was granted a work visa.

The 70-year-old candidate is 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 236 pounds.
Health reemerged as a key issue in the presidential campaign on Sunday, after an incident caught on video in which Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, 68, left a September 11 ceremony in NY early, stumbling and feeling dizzy. Both candidates pledged to release more information about their health. Trump takes statin, a medication to lower his cholesterol, and a daily low dose of aspirin.
His weight and height give him a body mass index of 29.5, according to U.S. measurements, which is within the “overweight” range but very close to the “obese” mark at 30.0.
Donald Trump has shared a summary of the results of his latest physical with television host and doctor Mehmet Oz. “When I’m up there speaking in front of 15,000, 25,000 people up there using a lot of motion, I guess in its own way its a really healthy act”, Trump said of running for president.
While the letter released by Trump gives more information on his health and physical makeup than previously known, it does not constitute his medical records nor does it give extensive detail about past health matters. “So I think we should agree that we’re not gonna discuss Secretary Clinton”.
However, both Trump and Oz touted discussing the Republican presidential candidate’s health on the show after Hillary Clinton fell ill Sunday at a 9/11 commemoration in NY.
“Donald Trump is hands down the least transparent presidential nominee in memory”.
Perhaps taking a swipe at opponent Hillary Clinton’s recent bout with pneumonia, Trump also told Oz in the show that was taped Wednesday, “I think when you’re running for president, I think you have an obligation to be healthy”.
Critics say Trump paints an overly bleak picture of life in urban African-American communities, where crime has fallen and the life expectancy has risen in recent decades. His testosterone level is 441.6.
Mrs Clinton told reporters on her campaign plane she was “doing great” as she headed to her first event after returning to the trail in Greensboro, North Carolina.
The letter from Trump’s long-time doctor, Harold N. Bornstein, lists Trump’s weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar and other numbers.
“I find it unhelpful and unhealthful”, said dietician Ashley Koff RD, describing it as an overly simplified measure that doesn’t describe much or help patients figure out a healthier path forward.

“We don’t know the exact dates of those before she officially settled in NY, but her visits prior to that were temporary business opportunities that she had as a model”, Pozar said.
