Overview

  • The White House released a three-page memo late Friday in which Capt. Sean Barbabella said President Trump is in "excellent health" and "fully fit" to serve following a multi-hour exam at Walter Reed on Tuesday.
  • The report says Trump underwent CT and cardiac imaging, cancer screenings and consultations with 22 specialists and lists vitals including weight 238 pounds, blood pressure 105/71 and a resting heart rate of 73.
  • Barbabella reported a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and described the president’s cardiac function as normal with improved cholesterol from medication.
  • The memo attributes visible hand bruising to frequent handshakes combined with aspirin use, notes slight lower-leg swelling with improvement from last year, and records current drugs including rosuvastatin, ezetimibe and aspirin.
  • The delayed late‑Friday release has prompted public skepticism and debate about disclosure practices and could sharpen political scrutiny of the president’s age and fitness in the run-up to upcoming elections.
