House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., is apparently OK after a fainting spell earlier Monday while on a congressional trip in Italy. Here’s a statement from her spokesman, Nadeam Elshami, who is traveling with her:

“After several flights yesterday in Afghanistan, and a long flight back to Italy that arrived early this morning, Leader Pelosi was not feeling well. This morning in Rome, the Leader was advised to visit a clinic, and the closest medical facility was a hospital. The Leader is now resuming her schedule in Italy.”
