WASHINGTON, Dec 1 (Reuters) – White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday a recent MRI conducted on President Donald Trump was “preventative” in nature, revealed he had good cardiovascular health, and was conducted as men his age benefit from such a screening.

Trump underwent an MRI scan during a recent medical evaluation, but did not disclose the purpose of the procedure at the time.
