Trump denies suffering 'series of mini-strokes,' doctor says he 'remains healthy'

 Dr. Sean Conley, Trump's physician, said on Tuesday that the president "remains healthy" and will "remain fit to execute the duties of the Presidency."

"I can confirm that President Trump has not experienced nor been evaluated for a cerebrovascular accident (stroke), transient ischemic attack (mini stroke), or any acute cardiovascular emergencies, as have been incorrectly reported in the media," Conley said in a statement.

 CNN reported this week that New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt in his forthcoming book claims Vice President Mike Pence was "on standby to take over the powers of the presidency temporarily if Trump had to undergo a procedure that would have required him to be anesthetized."

The CNN story did not reference any reports about Trump having a stroke, but author Don Winslow claimed Trump had "mini-strokes" in August.
