"Is in good spirits"
Former US President Bill Clinton in hospital
Former US President Bill Clinton (78) is being treated in a hospital in the capital Washington.
Clinton was admitted to Georgetown University Medical Center this afternoon for examination and observation after developing a fever, explained his deputy chief of staff, Angel Ureña. Clinton is "still in good spirits" and "greatly appreciates the excellent care he is receiving there".
Clinton is "awake and alert"
According to the US broadcaster MSNBC, which cites people close to Clinton, the situation is not acute. The former president is "awake and alert" and his condition is expected to improve soon.
The Democrat served as the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. Clinton's presidency was overshadowed by the Lewinsky affair and subsequent impeachment proceedings, which he survived politically.
His wife Hillary Clinton, who served as a senator and Secretary of State, also ran for president in 2016, but was defeated by Republican Donald Trump.
