Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton released medical information about themselves on Wednesday — although so far, Clinton's is far more comprehensive than her Republican opponent's. And Trump also used a novel setting to unveil his bill of health. Our Grace Rauh reports.
In a week in which the health of the presidential candidates is the talk of the nation, Donald Trump is promoting his cholesterol level with great fanfare, appearing as a guest on TV's 'Dr. Oz' show.
"If your health is as strong as it seems from your review of systems, why not share your medical records?" Dr. Mehmet Oz asked during a Wednesday taping of the show.
"Well, I really have no problem in doing that," Trump replied. "I have it right here. Should I do it?"
So Trump did, although you have to wait until Dr. Oz airs Thursday to see the full story.
However, audience members say Trump was found to be in sound health, albeit overweight. Although questions have been raised about his examining physician.
Dr. Harold Bornstein released a widely mocked report in December that said Trump would be quote "the healthiest individual ever elected to the Presidency."
After Clinton all but collapsed Sunday from pneumonia, her campaign released a letter from Clinton's doctor under pressure that the candidate disclose more.
Her doctor wrote that Clinton has remained healthy and has not developed new medical conditions this year other than a sinus and ear infection and her recently diagnosed pneumonia.
She said Clinton is fit to serve as President.
While campaigning in Indiana, Clinton's running mate, Tim Kaine, said Clinton is being held to a different standard than Trump.
"I think there's a double standard," Kaine said. "She produced so much more information about her health than Donald Trump did about his. She's produced so much more information about her taxes, nearly 30 years' worth, than Donald Trump has about his Hillary Clinton's very willing to disclose, but it ought to be even Steven."
So far, questions about transparency don't seem to be bringing down Trump's poll numbers.
New figures show a narrowing race nationwide and in key states. But the election is almost eight weeks away.
