White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters the administration would release a “readout from the White House physician” as soon as possible, promising it would be comprehensive.
“I can confirm the president is in very good shape,” Leavitt said, noting that the physical didn’t require Trump to be placed under anesthesia. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he expects the report to be released possibly on Sunday, April 13.
The president, who spent nearly five hours undergoing tests at Walter Reed, told reporters mid-flight to Florida that doctors offered him advice on lifestyle changes to improve his health, though he didn’t elaborate. “I was there for a long time,” Trump said. “I think I did very well.”
The finished medical report would be the first public information on Trump’s health since an assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July.
