President Donald Trump underwent a comprehensive medical exam that revealed he has a common vein disorder but cleared him of more serious illnesses, the White House said. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt also said that bruises periodically visible on the back of Trump’s hand are consistent with irritation from “frequent handshaking.” Leavitt’s disclosure of the 79-year-old president’s medical information came in response to questions about recent photos that appeared to show Trump with swollen legs.
