Former U.S. president Bill Clinton has been released from hospital after falling sick and admitted at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital for testing and observation.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, Angel Ureña confirmed he has been discharged and that he was treated for the flu.
“President Clinton was discharged earlier today after being treated for the flu,” Ureña said, adding:
“He and his family are deeply grateful for the exceptional care provided by the team at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and are touched by the kind messages and well wishes he received. He sends his warmest wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season to all”.
Clinton, 78, was treated at the Georgetown University Medical Center, Ureña posted.
U.S. broadcaster MSNBC, citing people from Clinton’s circle, said the situation is not acute and that the former president is expected to improve soon.
Clinton, a Democrat, served as the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 to 2001.
His presidency was overshadowed by the Lewinsky sex scandal and the subsequent impeachment proceedings, which he survived politically.
His wife Hillary Clinton, who served as a senator and secretary of state, ran for the presidency in 2016 but lost to Republican Donald Trump.
