White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday that President Donald Trump received “preventative” cardiovascular and abdominal MRIs, elaborating on the scans after the president said Sunday he did not know what parts of his body were scanned during the procedure, the results of which he claimed will be released.
Leavitt said advanced imaging was performed on the president to “identify any issues early,” adding the cardiovascular and abdominal imaging were “perfectly normal” and standard for Trump’s age of 79.
While speaking to reporters on board Air Force One on Sunday, as he flew back to Washington from Florida, Trump was asked about the results of the MRI test he received in October as part of his annual physical.
