president Donald Trump revealed during press conference The Republican congressman had been dealing with a serious heart condition on Monday. Trump said Dunn was diagnosed with a very serious illness but recovered very quickly, which helped preserve the Republican majority in the House of Representatives.
“This is a late diagnosis. He will die in June,” Trump said.
House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed surprise that the president was speaking so publicly about the situation.
“Well, it’s not public, but, yeah, well, it’s serious,” Johnson said.
Trump also discussed the medical procedures Dunn underwent and said the surgery was extensive.
“It was a long surgery. They gave him more stents and more stuff,” Trump said, adding that Dunn “got his life back. He has more energy than a guy half his age.”
Johnson said Trump had contacted Dunn and arranged for him to receive medical care from White House Medical Unit doctors and other military doctors at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
“This guy has a new look. He acted like he was 30 years younger, he walked into the meeting and we thought we saw a ghost, I talked to him over the weekend and he was inspired and grateful and he thanked the president for his leadership and intervention,” Johnson said.
Trump then described how Johnson told him that Dunn had a “very bad heart” and was “terminal” and that there was “nothing they could do” for the longtime Florida representative.
“I realized I have doctors in the White House… The doctors in the White House are amazing and they help me treat other people. They are helping me treat patients right now, people who are very sick… like they are miracle workers. I said, I have to call them. I called both doctors and they were both great. They immediately went to see the congressman and about two hours later, he was on the operating table,” Trump said.
Earlier today, the President also announced that White House Chief of Staff Suzy Wiles has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer.
Trump said Wiles would continue to work at the White House while receiving treatment and praised her “strength and commitment” to her job.
