Rep. Jamie Raskin expands congressional probe into President Trump's health records following Walter Reed examination involving 22 medical specialists.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) sent a letter to White House physician Captain Sean P. Barbabella demanding a complete list of President Trump's medications, the names of his 22 doctors, and recent physical exam results. Trump's May 26 examination at Walter Reed involved 22 medical specialists, the most for any president, with the White House memorandum noting leg swelling, hand bruising, and a 14-pound weight gain while declaring him in "excellent health." Raskin set a July 2 deadline for compliance and renewed an April request for cognitive exam results.
