Former U.S. president Bill Clinton is in a Washington hospital for testing and observation after developing a fever, Clinton’s deputy chief of staff said.
“He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving,” Angel Ureña posted on X.
Clinton, 78, is being treated at the Georgetown University Medical Center, Ureña posted.
U.S. broadcaster MSNBC, citing people from Clinton’s circle, said the situation is not acute and that the former president is expected to improve soon.
Clinton, a Democrat, served as the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 to 2001.
His presidency was overshadowed by the Lewinsky sex scandal and the subsequent impeachment proceedings, which he survived politically.
His wife Hillary Clinton, who served as a senator and secretary of state, ran for the presidency in 2016 but lost to Republican Donald Trump.
