“The findings confirm that President Trump remains in excellent overall health,” Leavitt said, adding that the scan was part of a routine executive physical suited for his age.
Washington DC (US), December 2, 2025, BNN Web Staff — The White House has made public the results of US President Donald Trump’s MRI scan from October, following weeks of political pressure and speculation about his health.
Questions over Trump’s medical condition intensified after several Democrats, including Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, raised concerns about the President’s cognitive sharpness and physical wellbeing. Observers had previously noted swelling in Trump’s ankles and bruising on his right hand—fueling further scrutiny, according to Politico.
Addressing reporters on Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt read a detailed summary from the President’s physician. She stated that Trump underwent a “preventative” MRI to ensure any potential issues could be detected early.
“The findings confirm that President Trump remains in excellent overall health,” Leavitt said, adding that the scan was part of a routine executive physical suited for his age.
According to the physician’s report, Trump’s cardiovascular system showed no signs of arterial narrowing, inflammation, clotting, or structural abnormalities. “The heart chambers are normal in size, the vessels appear smooth and healthy, and imaging revealed no concerns,” Leavitt noted.
She added that the abdominal MRI was also completely normal, with all major organs functioning within expected limits and no indication of acute or chronic issues.
The results were released after Trump, during a conversation with journalists aboard Air Force One, appeared unsure which part of his body had been 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 publication of the MRI report is expected to temporarily quiet criticism, though debate about Trump’s health is likely to continue as the election cycle intensifies.
