On Thursday, Donald Trump underwent a “comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies,” with the White House Medical Unit. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt read a note from the president’s physician, Sean Barbabella.

“I know that many in the media have been speculating about bruising on the president’s hand and also swelling in the president’s legs,” she said Thursday. “So, in the effort of transparency, the president wanted me to share a note from his physician with all of you today.

In the memorandum, Barbabella stated that Donald Trump had “noted mild swelling in his lower legs.”

“The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies. Bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70,” the statement read.
