Trump challenges Clinton to release ‘detailed’ medical records
Donald Trump wants Hillary Clinton to release her “detailed medical records.”
On Twitter, the Republican presidential candidate offered this challenge to his Democratic rival: “I think that both candidates, Crooked Hillary and myself, should release detailed medical records. I have no problem in doing so! Hillary?”
The Trump campaign and its surrogates have long insinuated Clinton’s health is worse than has been publicly confirmed. Trump has said Clinton lacks the physical “stamina” to be commander in chief.
But Clinton’s own doctor, Lisa Bardack, the chair of internal medicine at Mount Kisco Medical Group, has said, “She is in excellent physical condition and fit to serve as President of the United States.”
Ben Carson, a former Republican presidential candidate turned Trump supporter, called Sunday for both candidates to release their medical records.
“I think one of the ways to eliminate that kind of speculation is for both candidates to release their medical records,” Carson said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
“You know, as people get older, a lot of things begin to go wrong with their bodies. And I think the American people have a right to know, because we’re dealing with two older candidates, what their health status is because it’s a very intense job. It’s not, you know, eight hours a day. It’s 24/7 with constant stress. We need to know that we have a leader who can withstand that,” he said.
