“Secretary Clinton attended the September 11th Commemoration Ceremony for just an hour and thirty minutes this morning to pay her respects and greet some of the families of the fallen,” it explained. “During the ceremony, she felt overheated so departed to go to her daughter’s apartment, and is feeling much better.”
