He dictated the letter. I would tell him what he couldn’t put in there

DR HAROLD BORNSTEIN DONALD TRUMP’S DOCTOR

DONALD Trump faked a medical report that claimed he would be “the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency”, his personal doctor has revealed.

Physician Harold Bornstein said a letter released in December 2015 during the presidenti­al campaign was dictated to him by Mr Trump.

Dr Bornstein, who has treated Trump since 1980, told CNN: “He dictated that whole letter.”

Weeks before it was published, Mr Trump had promised that his medical report would show “perfection” because he was “blessed with great genes”.

The letter, signed by Dr Bornstein, said: “Mr Trump has had a recent complete medical examinatio­n that showed only positive results. “Actually, his blood pressure, 110/65, and laboratory test results were astonishin­gly excellent.” Mr Trump dictated the letter while Dr Bornstein drove across Central Park, New York, with his wife. Dr Bornstein said: “(Trump) dictated the letter and I would tell him what he couldn’t put in there.” The doctor had previously said he had written the letter in a rush while seeing other patients. Dr Bornstein also revealed Mr Trump’s ex-bodyguard Keith Schiller raided his office to get the President’s records in February 2017 after he had won the election. White House spokeswoma­n Sarah Sanders said it was “standard procedure” to take hold of a president’s records.
