President Donald Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency after experiencing leg swelling, though physicians said he is in “excellent health,” the White House announced Thursday.

The White House Medical Unit conducted a “comprehensive examination” of Trump, 79, after recent photos showed him with swollen ankles and a bruised hand, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a press briefing.
