Former President Bill Clinton was admitted to Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C., on Monday afternoon for testing and observation after developing a fever.
“The president is fine,” said Angel Urena, Clinton’s deputy chief of staff to CNN who first reported this story.
“He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving,” Urena added, saying that Clinton, 78, is optimistic about returning home before Christmas.
