Dec. 23 (UPI) — Former President Bill Clinton was hospitalized in Washington, D.C., on Monday after developing a fever. He is in “good spirits,” according to a spokesperson.
Clinton’s hospitalization was reported by multiple news organizations early Monday evening.
Clinton, 78, was undergoing testing and observation at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.
According to NBC News, Angel Ureña, Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, said the former president on Monday evening was “in good spirits and grateful for the care he is receiving.”
