Former President Clinton was discharged from the hospital Tuesday, his spokesperson said in a statement.

Driving the news: Clinton, 78, was admitted to be treated for the flu a day earlier after developing a fever, Angel Ureña, his deputy chief of staff, said on X.

Clinton received care at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C.

Flashback: Clinton was previously hospitalized in California in 2021 when an infection spread to his bloodstream.

He has had two heart procedures — a quadruple bypass in 2004 and the insertion of two stents into an artery in 2010. Both were performed at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
