Sen. Bernie Sanders said he will likely not release all of his medical records, after promising he would after his heart attack in October.
“I think probably not,” the Vermont independent responded when asked at a Tuesday press conference whether he would release all of his medical records. Sanders, 78, released doctors’ letters the prior day touting his health.
The 2020 presidential candidate said a doctor’s report is on par with what other candidates had done, but his refusal to release more medical records contradict what he has promised in prior interviews.
After his heart attack in October, Sanders promised on CNN to “release all the records” and days later reaffirmed that promise to ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl.
Sanders is the oldest candidate contending in the Democratic presidential primary. If he wins the 2020 presidential election, he would be the oldest person to become president at 79 years old.
