"Donald Trump said he will release the results of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan conducted during his surprise semiannual physical in October but was unable to tell reporters what part of his body was under investigation. The oldest-ever US president faced questions over the procedure on Air Force One as he traveled back to Washington DC on Sunday night after a Thanksgiving break in Florida."
"Asked if he would make public the outcome of the scan, Trump said: If you want to have it released, I'll release it. He asserted that the result was perfect even though he admitted again he had no idea what part of his body was scanned. It was just an MRI, he said. What part of the body? It wasn't the brain because I took a cognitive test, and I aced it."
"Trump was similarly vague about the scan after his 10 October visit to the Walter Reed national military medical center, which was portrayed by Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, at the time as a routine yearly checkup, even though he had his annual physical in April. I have no idea what they analyze, but whatever they analyze, they analyzed it well and they said that I had as good a result as they've ever seen, he said in November."
Donald Trump said he will release the results of an MRI scan performed during a surprise semiannual physical in October but could not identify which body part was scanned. He maintained that the results were perfect and emphasized that he had aced prior cognitive tests. The October visit took place at Walter Reed and was described by the White House press secretary as a routine yearly checkup despite an April annual physical. Trump repeated that he did not know what was analyzed but claimed medical staff reported excellent results. Critics said the episode reinforced concerns about his physical and mental fitness.
