Republican nominee Donald Trump has called for both Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and himself to release detailed medical records, following weeks of speculation about the two candidates’ health.
“I think that both candidates, Crooked Hillary and myself, should release detailed medical records,” Trump said on Twitter Sunday night. “I have no problem in doing so! Hillary?”
Both the Clinton campaign and Trump campaign have questioned the health of their opponents. Trump surrogate Rudy Giuliani said on Fox News that people should Google “Hillary Clinton illness.” The Clinton campaign has focused their attention on attacking Trump’s physician.
The Clinton campaign sent out a press release two weeks ago which called a segment featuring Newsweek senior writer Kurt Eichenwald a “must watch.” Eichenwald said Trump’s letter from Dr. Harold Bornstein is “not a real letter.” “It’s not from an internist. It’s from a doctor who treats digestive problems,” Eichenwald said. Dr. Bornstein is certified in internal medicine.
Clinton has so far released much more detailed medical records than Trump, but Clinton’s records weren’t as extensive compared to prior candidates.
The Clinton campaign has said they will not release additional medical records in response to Trump’s request.
