Karoline Leavitt Storms Off When Asked About Trump's MRI

President Donald Trump’s revelation that he received an MRI last month has sparked renewed discussions about the administration's transparency regarding his health. This inquiry intensified when the White House declined to elaborate on the reasons for the additional testing.During Wednesday's press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt faced questions regarding her earlier commitment to clarify the MRI's purpose. While she appeared ready for the inquiry, no new details emerged. Leavitt referred to a memo dated October 10, asserting that the president's advanced imaging at Walter Reed Medical Center was part of a routine physical exam, confirming that Trump is in "exceptional physical health." However, she did not specify the body part scanned and abruptly concluded the briefing.Critics swiftly condemned Leavitt's prepared remarks, arguing that MRIs should not be routine for a president in good health. Medical experts note that MRIs are not typical evaluations for chronic venous insufficiency, further complicating the transparency surrounding Trump’s health, a common issue among U.S. presidents.
