Doctor: Clinton has pneumonia, recovering after 9/11 event

Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., center left, Rep. Joseph Crowley, D-N.Y., second from left, and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, center top, attends a ceremony at the Sept. 11 memorial, in New York, Sunday, Sept. 11, 2016.

However, a video posted on Twitter by a person who was at the memorial showed Clinton, surrounded by her staff and Secret Service agents, stumble and her legs buckle as she tried to get into her vehicle.

Reiterating the campaign’s earlier statement, the doctor said that Clinton left the 9/11 memorial event because, “she became overheated and dehydrated”.

Hillary Clinton’s doctor has revealed the US Democratic presidential candidate was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday.

Almost an hour after it was reported that Hillary Clinton suffered a medical episode that forced her to leave a 9/11 ceremony early, her campaign, and Donald Trump, have responded.

Clinton had no more events on her schedule for Sunday and went, as previously planned, to her home in Chappaqua, New York, 30 miles north of New York City.

Bardack said she examined Clinton after the incident at the ceremony and noted she is “re-hydrated and recovering nicely”.

Services marking the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks have taken place in NY and around the world throughout Sunday.

Clinton left the event after about 90 minutes while it was still underway, Nick Merrill, a Clinton spokesman, said.

The incident fueled speculations about Clinton’s health, an issue that has been haunting her ever since she suffered a blood clot in her brain in 2012.

A video posted on Twitter appeared to show the 68-year-old struggling to stand and being helped into a waiting vehicle.

The incident happened during a very hot mid-September day in NY, a humidity and mugginess hanging over the city that affected all – and so, it would seem, Clinton too.

So far, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has not reacted to Clinton’s latest health news.

The campaign also did not take reporters in the motorcade after Clinton’s departure from her daughter’s apartment.

NY temperatures on Sunday were in the low 80s, with humidity in the mid-40s.

Clinton emerged from her daughter Chelsea’s Flatiron apartment around 11:40 a.m., waving to onlookers and posing for photos.

“I hope she gets well soon”.

Doctors say her condition, combined with Sunday’s heat and humidity, all could have contributed to her condition.

Mr Trump, 70, has also been under pressure to release detailed information on his health and medical history. Bornstein told NBC News he needed just five minutes to write a glowing public assessment of Trump’s health as a limousine waited to carry the letter back to Trump.
