White House has yet to release health results from Trump’s doctor after latest checkup

May 28, 2026 - 20:41

There is no constitutional or legal requirement that a president must release his medical records, but doing so has been a consistent practice for most modern presidents. The White House has yet to provide any health update from Dr. Sean Conley following Donald Trump's latest physical examination, which took place in November at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. The exam was listed on his public schedule as a routine checkup, but no official statement or written report has been issued in the weeks since.

Previous presidents, including Barack Obama and George W. Bush, typically released detailed summaries of their annual physicals within days. Trump himself received such updates during his first term, though the information was often sparse and sometimes contradicted by his own public statements. The current delay has drawn attention from medical transparency advocates and political observers who note that the president's health is a matter of public interest, especially given his age and the demands of the office.

Dr. Conley, who served as Trump's physician during his presidency, has not commented publicly on the latest exam. The White House press office has not responded to repeated inquiries about when or if the results will be made available. While there is no legal deadline, the lack of information stands in contrast to the precedent set by Trump's predecessors and even his own past practices.
