Hillary Clinton: We will release more medical records ‘very shortly’

Hillary Clinton says she will put out more medical records “very shortly” and that she’s worked hard to be more transparent than her Republican rival Donald Trump.

“I think I’ve worked very, very hard to be more transparent than not just my opponent, but really in a comparison to anybody’s who’s run,” Mrs. Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, said in an interview with “The Tom Joyner Morning Show” that was posted online Thursday on blackamericaweb.com.

“The medical information I put out, and we’re going to put out more, meets and exceeds the standard[s] that other presidential candidates, including President Obama and Mitt Romney, have met,” she said.

“My tax returns are out there — 40 years of transparency about my tax returns,” she said.

“So I think that the real questions need to be directed toward Donald Trump and his failure to even meet the most minimalistic standards that we expect of someone being the nominee of one of our two major parties,” she said.

Mrs. Clinton’s campaign released more information about her health on Wednesday in the wake of her bout with pneumonia, which the campaign belatedly disclosed after she stumbled while leaving a 9/11 memorial event on Sunday.

Dr. Lisa Bardack, Mrs. Clinton’s physician, wrote that Mrs. Clinton has remained healthy and hasn’t developed new medical conditions this year other than a sinus infection and ear infection and the recent pneumonia, and that she is “recovering well” with antibiotics and rest.

Mrs. Clinton said she plans to release more medical information “very shortly.”

“Because we really want to respond to legitimate questions that people might have. I am very touched by the concern that’s been set forth about my health,” she said.

“I’m really glad that I did finally follow my doctor’s orders and take some days to rest instead of just trying to keep powering through, which I think is a common experience for people. So we’re going to put out more information and that will be then twice as much as he’s put out, and we’ll see what, if anything, he’s willing to disclose,” Mrs. Clinton said.

Mr. Trump taped an appearance on Dr. Mehmet Oz’s television show Wednesday. Dr. Oz has said the health summary Mr. Trump showed him indicates Mr. Trump is healthy enough to be president.
