While Donald Trump boasted about his “perfect” MRI scan last month, which his aides brushed off as part of a routine check-up, a former White House doctor has now cast doubt on that assessment.
White House physician Sean Barbabella described Trump’s second medical evaluation this year as a “scheduled follow-up” that included “advanced imaging.” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt later said she didn’t know what imaging took place. Days later, Trump revealed that he underwent an MRI scan during a visit to Walter Reed, calling it “perfect.”
