Bill Clinton had to be treated in the hospital. According to his chief of staff, the 78-year-old developed a fever. The ex-president is “still in good spirits”.

Former US President Bill Clinton is being treated in a hospital in the capital Washington. Clinton came to Georgetown University Medical Center in the afternoon for examination and observation after he developed a fever, said the 78-year-old’s deputy chief of staff, Angel Ureña, on Platform X. Clinton is “still in good spirits” and appreciates ” “I love the excellent care he receives there.”

According to the US broadcaster MSNBC, which cites people close to Clinton, the situation is not acute. The former president is “awake and alert” and his condition is expected to improve soon.

The Democrat served as the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. Clinton’s presidency was overshadowed by the Lewinsky affair and subsequent impeachment proceedings, which he survived politically. His wife Hillary Clinton, who served as a senator and secretary of state, also ran for president in 2016 but was defeated by Republican Donald Trump.
