President Donald Trump will release the results of an October MRI test, though he added that he didn’t know why he got it.
The president first told reporters that he received an MRI on Oct. 27. A reporter from NewsNation broached the topic again on Sunday, earning the annoyance of the president, who said the outlet was “failing.” He then said he would release the results.

“If you want to have it released, I’ll release it,” he said on board Air Force One, though he added that he had “no idea” what part of the body was being imaged.
“It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it. Which you would be incapable of doing,” he told the reporter.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Associated Press that Trump received “advanced imaging” at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center “as part of his routine physical examination” and that the results showed Trump remains in “exceptional physical health.”
The Washington Examiner reached out to the White House for further comment.
Trump’s Monday comments were similar to those made in his first public comments on the matter on Oct. 27.

“I did. I got an MRI. It was perfect,” Trump said at the time.
“I gave you the full results. We had an MRI, and the machine, you know, the whole thing, and it was perfect,” he added.
