US EditionWhite House memo says Trump had ‘perfectly normal’ preventive MRI
MRI results from October show President Trump’s cardiovascular and abdominal health are perfectly normal, with no arterial narrowing or abnormalities, the White House physician said.
- On Dec 01, 2025, the White House released a memorandum from Sean Barbabella explaining President Donald Trump's October MRI as part of a comprehensive executive physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
- Because men in his age group benefit from thorough screening, Sean Barbabella said the imaging was preventative and standard to evaluate cardiovascular and abdominal health after President Donald Trump said he 'had no idea' what was scanned, prompting Gov. Tim Walz to demand release in October.
- The doctor summarized that `Overall, his cardiovascular system shows excellent health. His abdominal imaging is also perfectly normal. All major organs appear very healthy and well-perfused,` Barbabella wrote.
- The White House released the memo but withheld the MRI images, despite the scan occurring during President Donald Trump's second yearly check-up in six months.
- Given his age and prior diagnosis, President Donald Trump, age 79, faces scrutiny over chronic venous insufficiency and a 39% decrease in public appearances noted last week by The New York Times.
