Trump says he will release MRI results, as Democrats pressure him to see the images
“If you want to have it released, I’ll release it,” President Trump said
President Trump said Sunday evening that he will release his MRI results from October, but that he has "no idea" what part of his body was scanned.
“If you want to have it released, I’ll release it,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One, according to the Associated Press. He also said the results of the magnetic resonance images were “perfect.”
Trump's comments come amid Minnesota Democrat Gov. Tim Walz calling on him to release the results of the MRI, after the president criticized him and the state's Somali population in connection with a $300 million scam on COVID-19 relief money from the state's social service program.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has said that Trump received “advanced imaging” at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center “as part of his routine physical examination,” and that the results showed he remains in “exceptional physical health.”
Trump also said Sunday that he has “no idea” where on his body he got the MRI.
“It was just an MRI,” he said. “What part of the body? It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it.”
