- The meetings involve nearly 30 Cabinet officials and President Donald Trump said some sessions last three and a half hours, forcing him to sit quietly and listen.
- James Jones, White House medical unit, said Trump did not undergo an MRI but a 'computerized tomography exam of his chest and his abdomen' that showed no problems, officials noted.
- Allies, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, said closed eyes do not mean Trump dozed and insisted he remains mentally sharp amid public scrutiny of presidential health.
- Regretting the scan, Trump said `It was the worst f***ing thing I ever did, and I blame them`, and aides noted he never naps on Air Force One.
