Developing: Bill Clinton Requires Hospitalization
Former President Bill clinton was hospitalized at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C., due to a fever, according to his chief of staff, angel Ureña. The 78-year-old is being kept for testing and observation but remains in good spirits and appreciates the care he is receiving. Ureña has indicated that Clinton may stay overnight, but details about his eventual release are not yet known.
Clinton’s health history includes several notable medical challenges, such as quadruple heart bypass surgery in 2004 and a hospitalization for a collapsed lung in 2005. More recently, in 2010, he was treated for heart issues, during which he received two coronary stents. Following these health issues, he adopted a largely vegan diet, resulting in improved health and weight loss.
Despite his health challenges, Clinton has been active in public life, participating in fundraising efforts for President Joe Biden and later for Vice President kamala Harris in the current election cycle. He has also recently published a memoir titled “Citizen,” which discusses his post-presidency life and philanthropic efforts.

“He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving.”
Clinton was taken to the hospital from his home in Washington, CNN reported.
Ureña said he did not know when Clinton would be released, but expected him to be in the hospital at least overnight.
An unnamed aide described Clinton as being “awake and alert,” according to the CNN report.
It’s not the first health challenge for Clinton, who was president from 1993 to 2001.
He had quadruple heart bypass surgery in 2004, and the following year was again hospitalized for a collapsed lung.
In 2010 he was hospitalized for heart issues, receiving two stents in a coronary artery.
“Clinton responded by embracing a largely vegan diet that saw him lose weight and report improved health,” the Associated Press reported.
Clinton was active on the campaign trail, helping raise funds for President Joe Biden early in the year.
Later, after Biden was forced out of his re-election campaign, he stumped for Vice President Kamala Harris as she sought the nation’s highest office.

He recently released a memoir, “Citizen,” about his life after the presidency.
That book “is largely about Clinton’s post-presidential life in philanthropy, and claims that his encounters with his disgraced former associate, Jeffrey Epstein, focused on his charitable foundation,” Fox News reported.
The AP quoted Clinton as saying of Epstein, “I wish I had never met him.”
He has also dabbled in fiction, teaming with bestselling author James Patterson on a series about a fictional U.S. president.
