Clinton Campaign Denies Hillary Has Health Issues

Clinton on Monday

Conservative media chatter about Hillary Clinton's health has gotten so loud that Donald Trump is questioning her "physical stamina" — and now the Clinton campaign is condemning him for "peddling deranged conspiracy theories."

Money.CNN.com reported on Tuesday night the campaign issued a new statement from Clinton's physician saying that she is in "excellent health." And communications director Jennifer Palmieri accused Trump of trying to distract from his own refusal to release tax returns.

The forceful rebuttal was deemed necessary by the campaign because the health rumors have been getting more and more attention in recent days.

Web sites like The Drudge Report and television hosts like Sean Hannity have given ample attention to the rumors. On Tuesday night the Clinton campaign called Hannity a "Trump surrogate" and "conspiracy peddler."

The campaign's detailed press release also called out Trump confidant Roger Stone for "pushing fake medical documents supposedly leaked from Hillary Clinton's physician that purport to show grave health problems."

Clinton's actual physician, Dr. Lisa Bardack, chair of CareMount Medical's department of medicine, said in a statement, "These documents are false, were not written by me and are not based on any medical facts."

Bardack reiterated what she originally said last summer — that Clinton is fit to serve as president.
