Global News
Hillary Clinton has been with her husband at the hospital. She returned with daughter Chelsea around 8 a.m. Saturday in an SUV accompanied by secret service agents.
Bill Clinton spent a fourth night at a Southern California hospital where he is recovering from an infection but is expected to be released Sunday after making great progress, a spokesman said.
Clinton spokesman Angel Urena said in a statement Saturday that the former president would remain one more night at University of California Irvine Medical Center in Orange, southeast of Los Angeles, to receive IV antibiotics. But he said all health indicators were “trending in the right direction.”
“President Clinton has continued to make excellent progress over the past 24 hours,” Urena said.

President Joe Biden said Friday night that he had spoken to Bill Clinton, and the former president “sends his best.”
“He’s doing fine; he really is,” Biden said during remarks at the University of Connecticut.
Clinton, 75, was admitted on Tuesday with an infection unrelated to COVID-19, Urena said.
“He is in great spirits and has been spending time with family, catching up with friends, and watching college football,” said Urena’s Saturday statement.
