The White House has released a memorandum from President Donald Trump’s doctor late Monday, dispelling speculation about the president’s unannounced visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center over the weekend.

The memo from the president’s physician Dr. Sean Conley said Trump’s visit to the medical center was part of the “regular, primary preventative care” that the president received throughout the year. It dismissed speculation that Trump was brought to the hospital for chest pain and said he was not evaluated or treated for any “urgent or acute issues.”
