President Donald Trump remains confident in White House doctors despite the possibility that they missed a prostate cancer diagnosis for former President Joe Biden while he was in office, the White House says.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made the statement during a press briefing on Monday morning, saying Trump remains in good health. Speculation has exploded in the days since Biden announced he has stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer this weekend, a diagnosis that typically takes years to develop.
"White House doctors may have missed the early stages of his prostate cancer. So is President Trump worried about the quality of care that presidents get here?" Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked.
"Not as far as President Trump is concerned. The White House physician we have here is phenomenal," Leavitt responded. "The team of physicians that take care of the president, particularly at Walter Reed Medical Center, are great. The president had his physical recently, as you know, he had, perfect results. He's in very good shape."
