Clinton to release additional medical details

WASHINGTON – Hillary Clinton’s campaign says it will release additional medical information about the Democratic presidential nominee in the next few days.

Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said the new information should assuage concerns about her health. He said Clinton will be back on the campaign trail by the middle of the week.

Clinton made an early departure from a 9/11 memorial event Sunday, then staggered and eventually slumped forward as she was helped into a van. Her campaign later said she had pneumonia.

Fallon played down the seriousness of the incident, saying she was calling aides from the vehicle to reassure them about her health.

Fallon spoke in an interview with MSNBC.

He said: “Hopefully they’re going to be good. I think they’re going to be good. I feel great.”

The announcement comes after rival Hillary Clinton became ill at a 9/11 anniversary ceremony in Manhattan Sunday and was captured stumbling by amateur video.

Trump’s move is likely to increase pressure on Clinton to release more information about her health.

Clinton has so far released more details about her health than Trump.

Donald Trump says he hopes rival Hillary Clinton “gets well soon” after her abrupt departure from a 9/11 anniversary ceremony following a health episode.

Trump said in an interview on “Fox and Friends” Monday morning that: “Something’s going on, but I just hope she gets well and gets back on the trail and we’ll be seeing her at the debate.” The first of three debates is scheduled for Sept. 26.

Video captured of the Democratic nominee shows her staggering and slumping forward as she was helped into a van leaving the Sunday ceremony in Manhattan.

Her doctor says she is fighting a case of pneumonia.
