Donald Trump on Wednesday handed over a one-page summary of his recent physical on a doctor's television show — but the campaign won't reveal what was disclosed.
Trump, ever the showman, appeared on "The Dr. Oz Show" in what was billed by the campaign as a discussion about his general well-being and his family's medical history. But reversing what aides had said earlier Wednesday, Trump handed host Mehmet Oz one-page of results from a physical conducted last week by his longtime physician, Dr. Harold Bornstein.
The show does not air until Thursday and the campaign declined to immediately disclose the results. But a release from the show said that "Dr. Oz took Mr. Trump though a full review of his systems" including his nervous system, cardiovascular health, prostate health and family medical history.
Both Trump and his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, have been under increased pressure to release detailed medical records, especially after Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia and was captured on video stumbling getting into a waiting van at a 9/11 memorial ceremony Sunday.
