NBC News reported that a source close to the former president confirmed the situation is “not urgent.”
“The former president will be fine,” the source said. “He developed a fever and wanted to be checked out. He is awake and alert.”
In October 2021, Bill Clinton was hospitalized with a sepsis infection and spent six days at UC Irvine Medical Center in Orange County, California. He has also undergone a quadruple bypass and surgery for a partially collapsed lung in the past.
