Clinton & Trump Both Release More Health Information

HeadlineSep 15, 2016

In news from the campaign trail, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have both released more information on their medical history. Hillary Clinton released a letter from her doctor saying Hillary Clinton “continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as president of the United States.” This comes as Hillary Clinton returns to the campaign trail with an event in North Carolina today, after spending a few days this week recovering from pneumonia. Donald Trump, in contrast, taped an interview with the controversial television persona, Dr. Oz, in which Trump shows him copies of some results from a physical last week. The full interview is slated to air today, but this is a clip.

Dr. Oz: “If your health is as strong as it seems from your review of systems, why not share your medical records? Why not let people see?”

Donald Trump: “Well, I have really no problem in doing it. I have it right here. I mean, should I do it? I don’t care. Should I do it? It’s two letters. One is the report, and the other is from Lenox Hill Hospital.”

Meanwhile, Donald Trump has continued to refuse to release his tax returns.
