Trump’s physician says the president is in ‘excellent health’ and is ‘fully fit’ to serve

Donald Trump’s physician says the president is in “excellent health” and is “fully fit” to serve as commander in chief after a medical exam Tuesday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

A report from Dr. Sean Barbabella, released late Friday, says Trump underwent a CT scan and other heart imaging, along with cancer screenings and other preventative assessments carried out by 22 specialists.

Trump, 79, said after the three-hour visit Tuesday that everything checked out “PERFECTLY.”

The president weighed in at 238 pounds (108 kilograms), up 14 pounds (6 kg) from a medical exam in April 2025. His doctors gave him guidance on his diet, physical activity and weight loss, but concluded his “cognitive and physical performance are excellent.”

With his 6-foot, 3-inch (1.9-meter) frame, Trump has a body mass index of 29.7. An index of 30 is considered by doctors to be obese.

The report also documented bruising on Trump’s hands, explained as “minor soft tissue irritation related to frequent handshaking,” and said it was “a common and benign effect of aspirin therapy.” Among the recommendations was a switch to low-dose aspirin.

Last year the White House said Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a fairly common condition for older adults that causes blood to pool in the president’s legs. The report from his latest exam noted “slight lower leg swelling” but said there was “improvement from last year.”

His doctor reported nothing abnormal, saying Trump demonstrated strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological and overall health.

“His demanding daily schedule, including multiple high-level meetings, public engagements, and regular physical activity, continues to support his overall well-being,” Barbabella wrote.

Trump was again given the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, which is used to screen for dementia and cognitive impairment. Trump’s doctors reported that he scored 30 out of 30, the same score reported last year and in 2018.

His cholesterol levels have improved significantly with medication. Trump’s total cholesterol came in at 143, down from 223 in 2018. It had been down to 140 last April. He takes rosuvastatin to help lower his bad cholesterol, known as LDL, and to raise his good cholesterol, or HDL. He also takes ezetimibe to help lower his LDL.

The exam, which Trump described as a six-month physical, was his fourth publicly disclosed medical exam since he returned to office for a second term. It comes as he tries to project strength ahead of midterm elections.

Past administrations have also released selected results from presidential physicals, offering the public a glimpse at the commander in chief’s health.

But there is no law requiring presidents to disclose their full health records, and the degree of transparency has varied by administration. Trump’s past reports have been criticized for offering scant detail and for providing statistics that some medical experts have viewed with skepticism.

Trump, a Republican, turns 80 next month and was the oldest person elected U.S. president. His immediate predecessor, President Joe Biden, a Democrat, was 82 when he left office, dropping out of the 2024 presidential race amid widespread concerns that he was too old for the job.

Trump has tried to fight off public concern over his age and stamina. He often appears with makeup covering bruises on his hands, and photographs have shown the president with swollen feet, ankles and calves.

He has recently talked about how good he feels, even as he jokes about his fondness for fast food and his minimal exercise beyond frequent golf outings. At recent public appearances, Trump has said he feels the same as he did 50 years ago.

5th Circuit delivers huge win — Texas state officials can now arrest and deport Illegal Aliens

May 29 (Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Friday cleared the way for Texas authorities to enforce key parts of a law that would ‌allow state officials to arrest and deport people suspected of having illegally crossed ‌the U.S.-Mexico border.

A 2-1 panel of the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in an order ​put on hold an injunction a federal judge had issued on May 14 in a class-action lawsuit filed by civil rights advocates on behalf of thousands of people who could be subject to the law's provisions.

Austin-based U.S. District Judge David Ezra had issued the injunction after concluding ‌the state law improperly challenged the ⁠federal government's long-held power to control immigration, naturalization and deportations.

Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is running for a seat in the ⁠U.S. Senate, quickly appealed, leading to Friday's order.

The groups representing the plaintiffs the American Civil Liberties Union, its Texas affiliate and the Texas Civil Rights Project in a joint statement called Friday's ruling ​disappointing ​and said they "will continue to fight against this ​abhorrent and blatantly illegal law."

Paxton's office ‌did not respond to a request for comment.

The lawsuit had been filed to prevent parts of the 2023 law from taking effect, after the appeals court in April overturned an earlier injunction issued during Democratic President Joe Biden's administration that had prevented the Republican-backed measure known as SB 4 from being enforced.

Republican President Donald Trump's administration had dropped a case the ‌Biden administration brought challenging the law. Immigrant-rights groups ​that had also sued pressed on, but the 5th ​Circuit on a 10-7 vote concluded the ​organizations lacked legal standing to pursue their case.

The new ACLU-backed lawsuit ‌sought to address that issue by instead ​suing on behalf of ​non-citizens who could be subject to four key provisions of the law.

Those provisions include ones that make it a state crime for someone to reenter the U.S. after deportation, ​even if they have federal ‌permission to do so or have since obtained a green card, and that ​give magistrate judges in Texas the power to issue deportation orders.

@SecMullinDHS

Last night, a violent rioter savagely kicked and bit ICE law enforcement officers outside of Delaney Hall. Today, this violent agitator is being charged.

The Trump Administration will ALWAYS stand with our federal law enforcement officers. Anyone who assaults a law enforcement officer will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Iran sentences another athlete to death over January protests

Iranian political prisoner and martial arts champion Benyamin Naqdi who was arrested during January protests in Shiraz has been sentenced to death for spreading “corruption on earth”, his lawyer said.

State media had earlier released a video of Naqdi’s forced confession, identifying him as the young man who used a canister filled with flammable liquid to throw flames at government motorcycle forces in Shiraz.

His lawyer Mostafa Nili told the Emtedad channel that Naqdi was initially issued an indictment on charges including “moharebeh” (waging war against God), membership in groups disrupting security, assembly and collusion to commit crimes against national security, and propaganda against the establishment.

Nili added that separate accusations of causing bodily harm to officers and carrying a bladed weapon were dropped, but judges at the Revolutionary Court treated all the remaining charges as “corruption on earth” and issued the death sentence on that basis.

Naqdi is an athlete with several championship titles in kickboxing and Muay Thai.

Democrats accused of breaking election law in Nebraska

A former Republican state lawmaker and an unsuccessful GOP candidate for Legislature sent complaints this week to Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers asking him to look into the U.S. Senate candidacies of Democrat Cindy Burbank and Legal Marijuana NOW nominee Mike Marvin over allegations that neither of them intends to serve.

The complaints, obtained by the Examiner and verified by the people filing them, allege that Marvin and Burbank aren’t “good faith” candidates under a requirement in state law that candidates who run actually seek the office sought, and that the two targeted candidates opposing Republican U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts made “false” statements under “oath or affirmation” when they filed to run.

The requests argue separately that the candidates may have broken Nebraska law related to election falsification, perjury or encouraging perjury or making a false sworn statement. The complaint about Marvin comes from Derek Schwartz, a La Vista police officer who ran unsuccessfully this spring for the Nebraska Legislature in District 18. The complaint about Burbank came from Lydia Brasch, a former state senator from West Point, Nebraska, who served from 2011 to 2019.

“I believe election integrity in Nebraska, not just this cycle, but in all cycles going forward is a paramount priority, and that manipulation of Nebraska’s election laws through strategic withdrawals and bad-faith candidacies is an unlawful practice that authorities should take steps to stop,” Brasch wrote in her complaint.

Marvin and Burbank didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment Thursday evening.

The complaints largely echo arguments made by Nebraska Secretary of State Bob Evnen when he briefly removed Burbank from the ballot. She sued successfully to get back on, partly because Evnen missed a deadline for raising his objection.

The requests also echo concerns about Burbank raised to Evnen by the Nebraska Republican Party in March. The NEGOP had argued Burbank was not a “good-faith” candidate. Its complaint argued she had no intention of serving if elected.

Brandon J. Johnson, an assistant professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Law who focuses on election law, said the complaints, in his eyes, seem to lack merit. But he said he can’t predict how a court might rule if a lawsuit comes.

“In terms of what the oath requires, right, is a willingness to serve if elected, which doesn’t seem to require running an active campaign … you’d probably run into some significant First Amendment problems if you required a primary candidate to run, no matter what,” Johnson said.

Burbank’s attorneys made similar arguments in court this spring.

The oath that candidates sign when they file to run says, “I hereby swear that I will abide by the laws of the State of Nebraska regarding the results of the primary and general elections, that I am a registered voter and qualified to be elected, and that I will serve if elected.”

Johnson, the law professor, said the complaints appear to misinterpret some state statutes. No action has yet been taken by the attorney general. The Attorney General’s Office had no immediate comment on the requests Thursday evening.

Former Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson, a Republican who has argued election cases, said by text Thursday that he “suspects our courts are not excited about being brought into political lawsuits, [but] in order to maintain the integrity of our electoral system it is imperative that the alleged facts be heard and decided by our judicial system.”

The latest complaints came days after Hilgers confirmed to the Examiner that the Secretary of State’s Office in Lincoln has reached out to him for guidance on whether Evnen, the state’s top election official, can keep Burbank on the November ballot once she asks to be removed, which she could do after the state formally certifies the election on June 8.

The requests are the latest in months of back and forth over who should reach the November ballot between backers of Ricketts and nonpartisan U.S. Senate candidate Dan Osborn, after a primary election rife with flying allegations of candidates “planted” to help each of them, which all involved campaigns have denied.

Said Johnson, the professor: “This is all politics … and trying to turn it into a legal issue is one of the things that’s troubling about our current state of politics.”
