President Donald Trump said Sunday that he will release the results of an MRI conducted in October, responding to mounting calls from Democrats for the images to be made public. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said he has “no idea” what part of his body was scanned but described the test outcome as flawless. “If you want to have it released, I’ll release it,” he said, according to the Associated Press.
The issue gained attention after Minnesota Governor Tim Walz called on the president to disclose the imaging results. Walz’s remarks followed Trump’s criticism of the governor and the state’s Somali community over a $300 million fraud case tied to Minnesota’s COVID-19 social service program.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said earlier that Trump underwent “advanced imaging” at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center as part of his routine physical and that the results confirmed he remains in “exceptional physical health.”
When asked about the purpose of the MRI, Trump said he did not know which part of his body was scanned. “It was just an MRI,” he told reporters. “What part of the body? It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it.”
The White House has not provided a timeline for when the MRI records will be released, though officials have emphasized that the president’s medical team found no cause for concern.
