Hillary Clinton is in “excellent mental condition”, her doctor said in a letter released on Wednesday by the Democratic presidential candidate’s campaign, as focus on her health continues to escalate as she recuperates from pneumonia. “She continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as president of the United States,” physician Lisa Bardack wrote in the letter, which also gave new medical information. The records released on Wednesday also note that Clinton, who is 68, has suffered from allergy flare-ups this year, “a typical pattern for most of her life”. But the blood clot she sustained four years ago was declared completely resolved in a two-page letter Clinton released from her personal physician last June, stating that she was “in excellent physical condition”. Mike Pence, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, reportedly ignored reporters’ attempts to determine whether he, too, would be disclosing his medical records.
