Doctor Raises Questions About Trump’s Health as White House Defends President
Reiner said Trump’s reports leave key questions unanswered and backed a 25th Amendment panel to review the president’s medical data.
- Jonathan Reiner, a George Washington University professor and Former Vice President Dick Cheney's cardiologist for 27 years, urged Congress yesterday to form a 25th Amendment commission to study President Donald Trump's health disclosures.
- Reiner questioned why Trump was recently examined by 22 consultants and underwent advanced heart and abdomen imaging at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center without clear explanation, prompting his call for transparency.
- Recent reports omitted concerns like apparent fatigue, large bruises, and leg swelling, while the hair-loss drug finasteride was not mentioned in a May examination despite questions about whether underlying issues were identified and treated.
- Reiner backed Rep. Jamie Raskin's bill to form a panel empowered to review data from Trump's physical examinations, shifting congressional oversight from general inquiries to direct examination of confidential medical records.
- "The United States does not have a king," Reiner concluded, arguing that in a representative democracy, the public must have confidence in their leader's health and capacity to guide the nation.
