Bernie Sanders walks back promise to release 'comprehensive' medical records
The 78-year-old Democratic presidential hopeful said in September that he would “absolutely” release his medical records ahead of the presidential primary season, which kicked off with the Iowa caucuses last week.
“The American people have the right to know whether the person they’re going to be voting for for president is healthy,” Sanders said at the time.“And we will certainly release our medical records ... before the first votes are cast.”
“The American people have the right to know whether the person they’re going to be voting for for president is healthy,” Sanders said at the time.“And we will certainly release our medical records ... before the first votes are cast.”
“I want to make it comprehensive,” Sanders said in explaining the delay. “The answer is I will, probably by the end of the year.”
Bernie Sanders backtracks on 'full disclosure' pledge on his medical records
In October, however, Sanders told CNN’s Sanjay Gupta that he would be releasing his medical records related to the heart attack and the implantation of two stents in a blocked artery.
“The people do have a right to know about the health of a senator, somebody who’s running for president of the United States — full disclosure,” Sanders said, pledging to release his full medical records. “But you know, the first concern that people had [was] to understand what was going on. Before we reveal information dribble by dribble.”
In a separate interview with ABC News, Sanders again pledged to release his full medical records “as soon as we can.”
