Donald Trump’s visit to a Washington-area hospital on Saturday was for a routine checkup and did not include specialized cardiac or neurological examinations, his doctor said Monday.

In a memorandum prepared for White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham, Dr. Sean Conley said the visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland -- unannounced before Saturday -- was kept off the record because of “scheduling uncertainties.”
