White House defends President Trump's surprise medical exam amid skepticism online.
Trump arrived at the hospital at 2:45 p.m. Saturday and spent slightly more than two hours on site. He was seen leaving with a tan envelope tucked in his arm. The full annual presidential physical typically takes several hours and is unlikely to be described as a"quick exam and labs," which is how White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham explained the visit afterward.
"Perfect example of how the long history of false statements from White House has worn away any presumption of truthfulness,"Los Angeles Times Washington Bureau Chief David Lauter."Maybe Trump's hospital visit was routine, but burden of proof is on WH to show evidence."
