The White House on Wednesday declined to share specific information about the medical scans President Donald Trump underwent during a physical examination last month, though it said overall results showed he remains in excellent health. Trump, 79, had earlier confirmed that he received a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan at Walter Reed Medical Center on October 10. However, neither he nor the White House clarified which part of his body was scanned.White House Refuses To Disclose Donald Trump’s Health ResultsWhite House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked again on Wednesday about her earlier statement that she would follow up with the President regarding his MRI in October. Leavitt thanked reporters for the question but did not provide any further details. She confirmed that Trump “received advanced imaging” at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center as part of his “routine physical examination” but did not mention which body part was examined.MRIs are typically conducted to capture detailed images of areas such as the brain, spine, joints, heart, or blood vessels. Trump’s scan came during his second physical exam of the year. When pressed for additional details about the test, Leavitt declined to elaborate.“The full results were reviewed by attending radiologists and consultants, and all agreed that President Trump remains in exceptional physical health,” Leavitt said, according to Reuters.Concerns About Donald Trump’s Health GrowBetween August 26 and September 2, 2025, speculation about Trump’s health began circulating online after photos showed bruising on his hand and he avoided public appearances for several days. Some users claimed the White House was concealing a medical issue, prompting Trump to respond directly to the rumors on September 2.The Trump administration had previously shared results from a physical conducted in April 2024, though questions were raised about whether it included all relevant findings. Trump has often highlighted his performance on a cognitive test, but experts have pointed out that the test alone cannot confirm or rule out cognitive impairment.Adding to the speculation was a visible bruise on the back of Trump’s right hand, which has occasionally appeared covered with makeup. In February, the White House said the bruise came from Trump “constantly working and shaking hands all day.” His doctor also stated in July that Trump takes aspirin daily as part of a “cardiovascular prevention regimen,” which can sometimes lead to bruising.What Health Condition Has Trump Been Diagnosed With?Although public discussion about Trump’s health continues to surface, the White House has consistently maintained that he remains in strong physical condition. Earlier this year, officials confirmed that he has chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)—a vascular condition that makes it harder for veins in the legs to send blood back to the heart. It can cause mild swelling or discomfort.On October 10, Trump visited Walter Reed Medical Center again for what his spokesperson described as a “routine annual check-up,” though it marked his second visit in six months. The White House physician, Dr. Sean Barbabella, declined to specify which scans or preventive evaluations were done but said the test results were “exceptional” and that Trump’s heart health was comparable to that of someone about 14 years younger.Later, on October 27, Trump said he had undergone an MRI during a prior visit to Walter Reed and described the findings as “some of the best reports for the age.” He added that doctors were “very impressed”, though the absence of specific details has fueled ongoing curiosity about his condition.Trump has also mentioned taking the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a tool designed to detect early cognitive decline, but often refers to it as a “very tough IQ test.” It remains unclear whether he took another MoCA during his October appointment or was referencing earlier tests from April 2025 or January 2018.
