| In a promotional clip released of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s sitdown chat with TV’s Dr. Mehmet Oz, the perpetual showman responded to Oz’s question about why he hasn’t shared his medical records by furnishing the records from his jacket pocket. | |
| “Why not share your medical records?” Oz asked Trump, in response to the campaign’s pledges of transparency. | |
| “Well, I have really no problem in doing it - I have it right here. I mean, should I do it? I don’t care.” he asked the audience, prompting the audience to clap. | |
| “It’s two letters - one is the report and one is from Lennox Hill Hospital,” Trump said, removing two sheets of folded paper from his breast pocket. “These are all of the tests that were done last week.” | |
| We’ll have more on those actual test results tomorrow when the show airs. | |
