President Donald Trump said Sunday he will release the results of an MRI test he underwent in October, describing the results as “perfect.” Speaking to reporters while traveling from Florida to Washington, the Republican leader added, “It was just an MRI… What part of the body? It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it.”
MRI Part of Routine Exam
The White House has not disclosed why Trump received the MRI or which area of his body was scanned. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the imaging was part of a “routine physical examination” at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and confirmed that the president remains in “exceptional physical health.”
