Former President Bill Clinton was released from a Washington hospital on Tuesday and will be home for Christmas after having been admitted the previous day with fever. Clinton is being treated for the flu, Angel Ureña, Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, said in a statement.
”He and his family are deeply grateful for the exceptional care provided by the team at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and are touched by the kind messages and well wishes he received,” Ureña said.
“He sends his warmest wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season to everyone,” Ureña added.
The 78-year-old Democrat was hospitalized Monday afternoon for tests and observation.
Clinton served two terms as president from January 1993 to January 2001. He spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this summer and campaigned in the fall for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, who lost the election to Republican Donald Trump in November.
Clinton recently published her most recent book, “Citizen,” a memoir about her life after the White House and the role of philanthropy in it.
