In mid-August, Donald Trump spoke briefly with CBS News, which asked the former president a good question. You will release your medical records to the public? correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns asked the Republican.
Oh sure, Trump replied. I would do that very gladly, sure......
Nearly seven weeks later, The New York Times reported that the elusive medical records remain under wraps.
Well, sure, if you put it that way, it sounds bad.....
In the years that followed, disclosures did not improve even when the then-president was hospitalized with a Covid infection.
Last fall, Trump released the first updated report on his health in more than three years, but it came by way of a statement issued by one of his golf club customers, and it omitted basic details such as his blood pressure and medications.
More recently, the former president and his team also ignored calls for basic medical details after he was shot in the ear.
Its against this backdrop that Trump said nearly seven weeks ago that he would very gladly release his medical records, which will probably reach the public right around the time he releases his tax returns.

Just over a month from an election that could make Mr. Trump, 78, the oldest person ever to serve as president (82 years, 7 months and 6 days when his term would end in January 2029), he is refusing to release even the most basic information about his health. If he wins, Mr. Trump could enter the Oval Office with an array of potentially worrisome issues, medical experts say: cardiac risk factors, possible aftereffects from the July assassination attempt and the cognitive decline that naturally comes with age, among others.
