In a statement released on Monday, White House officials said that First Lady Melania Trump underwent a kidney procedure and is recovering in hospital. According to the statement, she had “an embolization procedure to treat a benign” condition.
“The procedure was successful and there were no complications,” the statement continued. “Mrs. Trump is at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and will likely remain there for the duration of the week.
The first lady looks forward to a full recovery so she can continue her work on behalf of children everywhere.” President Donald Trump reportedly remained at the White House while his wife was in surgery.
