Economic aide released from hospital after heart attack

WASHINGTON — Larry Kudlow, the U.S. president’s top economic adviser, has been released from the hospital after what the White House had described as a “very mild” heart attack.

Donald Trump’s press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said in a statement that Kudlow was discharged from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Wednesday.

She said doctors say Kudlow’s recovery “is going very well” and the president and his aides are happy Kudlow is back home and they “look forward to seeing him back to work soon.”

Kudlow joined the Trump administration this year as director of the National Economic Council. He was with Trump in Canada last week for the meeting of the Group of Seven world leaders.
