Donald Trump, the former president, underwent an MRI scan in October. He claimed it was part of a routine physical checkup. However, questions quickly arose about the specifics of the scan.
Conflicting Statements on the Scan
Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, en route to Japan, that he had an MRI.
“We had an MRI… and it was perfect. Nobody has ever given you reports like I gave you. If I didn’t think it was good, I wouldn’t run,” he said.
Despite this, Trump admitted he didn’t know what body part was scanned. Some experts questioned the truthfulness of this statement.
White House doctor Sean Barbabella released a memo on October 10 confirming that Trump underwent “advanced imaging, laboratory testing, and preventive health assessments” at Walter Reed Medical Center.
