"CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT KRISTEN HOLMES: Why did President Trump get an MRI during his recent visit to Wall Street? WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY KAROLINE LEAVITT: Look, as President Trump said, he would inquire with the physicians. I'll check back on that. But as the physical itself stated, Kristen, and as you all know, because you are all witness to it, every single day the president is in optimal physical health. This was a follow-up appointment, and we provided a detailed readout of that physical. I'm happy to give it to you again, and I can inquire further."
"CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT KRISTEN HOLMES: With all due respect, an MRI is a very specific procedure. It's done on a part of the body, looking for something specific. So it's not generally part of any kind of routine checkup. And in addition, President Trump has said that he wants to be transparent. He has told us to ask the doctors, which we have and have not heard back. Why don't we have more information on this?"
President Trump said he performed well on a cognitive test and described an MRI as perfect, prompting questions about his health. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt characterized the MRI as part of a follow-up appointment and reiterated that the president is in optimal physical health. CNN's Kristen Holmes pressed for specifics, noting that an MRI targets a particular body part and is not a routine exam. Holmes emphasized the president's stated commitment to transparency and asked why more information from the doctors has not been provided. Leavitt promised to check back and provide further details.
