Clinton, 78, admitted to hospital for testing and observation, deputy chief of staff says.
Former United States President Bill Clinton has been hospitalised after developing a fever, his office has announced.
Clinton, 78, was admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC for testing and observation on Monday afternoon, Angel Urena, Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, said in a statement.
“He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving,” Urena said in a post on X.
Urena did not elaborate on Clinton’s condition, but NBC News quoted an anonymous source close to the former president saying the situation was “not urgent”.
Clinton, who served as the 42nd US president from 1993 to 2001 under the Democratic Party banner, has faced a series of health issues over the years.
