White House provides Trump health update after MRI scan concerns swirled

President Donald Trump's October MRI results at Walter Reed were reviewed by radiologists who confirmed he remains in exceptional physical health, officials say.

"I got an MRI, it was perfect," Trump told reporters on Air Force One in October. 

"I gave you the full results," he added. "We had an MRI, and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect." 

The checkup in October has been described as routine by the administration, with Trump's physician reporting that Trump is in "exceptional health." 

Media outlets and others have fanned the flames of concerns around Trump's health earlier in 2025 when he was spotted with swollen legs in July while attending the FIFA Club World Cup final in New Jersey, as well as when other photos that same month showed him with bruises on his hands.

Leavitt added Wednesday that Trump is slated to hold a dinner later that evening, which she said might include press attendance where the media could see Trump's physical state themselves.

"I know all of you will see with your own eyes later this evening when he opens up his dinner to the press, and perhaps you will see him when he signs the bill to reopen the federal government," she said. "So stay tuned on plans for that."
