Former President Bill Clinton, 78, was hospitalized Monday and is undergoing tests after developing a fever.
Angel Urena, Clinton’s former deputy chief of staff, wrote on X that the former president was admitted to Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, DC, but is doing “fine.”
‘He remains cheerful and greatly appreciates the excellent care he receives.’
Urena added that the former president hopes to be home and out of the hospital in time for Christmas.
He said Clinton received precautionary care after developing a fever.
According to reports, there was ‘no emergency’.
Clinton’s health has been in the spotlight in recent years, as the once vibrant Democrat has noticeably aged.
In 2021, he was also hospitalized after a urological infection spread to his bloodstream.
He also underwent quadruple bypass heart surgery in 2004 and six years later underwent a procedure to open an artery.
He has been in the spotlight in recent months as he promoted his new memoir “Citizen” and campaigned for Kamala Harris.

In it, he expressed his frustration when questioned about his relationship with then-intern Monica Lewinsky and admits that he never apologized to her directly.
Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives in 1998 when it emerged that he had lied about a sexual relationship with the then 22-year-old.
He writes about a 2018 interview on NBC’s “Today Show” in which he admits he was “blown away” by questions on the subject.
In addition, Clinton said earlier this month that he was willing to talk to President Joe Biden about a likely pardon for his wife Hillary Clinton, in case President-elect Donald Trump tried to jail her.
Trump denounced Clinton in their 2016 campaign and his nominee to lead the FBI, Kash Patel, has said he thinks the former secretary of state may have committed crimes.
“Lock her up,” was a common chant about Clinton among Trump supporters. The president-elect has also vowed revenge against those he calls his political enemies.
Clinton, during an appearance on ABC’s The View, called any possible attack on his wife a “fool’s errand.”
“If Kash Patel is determined to come up with one, he could, but I think if President Biden wants to talk to me about that, I’ll talk to him about it,” the former president said.
However, he then added that he may not be the best person to talk about pardons. During his presidency, Clinton sparked a huge controversy when he pardoned billionaire Marc Rich, who for decades had been on the run from fraud related to making illegal oil deals and failing to pay more than $48 million in taxes.
Earlier this month, he said he was willing to talk to President Joe Biden about a likely pardon for his wife, Hillary Clinton, in case President-elect Donald Trump tried to jail her.

“I don’t think I should give public advice on the pardon power. I think it is – it’s a very personal thing, but it is – I hope [Trump] I won’t do that,” Clinton said.
“Trump, you know, most of us leave this world sooner than we would if all we got was simple justice. And so it’s normally a fool’s ear and spending a lot of time trying to get revenge,” Bill Clinton added.
Patel has listed dozens of people he considered “deep state” enemies, including current National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, current FBI Director Cristopher Wray, former FBI Director James Comey, Comey’s former deputy Andy McCabe, ex- FBI Agent Peter Strzok and Former FBI Agent Peter Strzok and Former FBI Agent Peter Strzok.
