Trump reveals Rep. Neal Dunn's near-fatal health crisis and intervention
Former US President Donald Trump has disclosed that Florida Congressman Neal Dunn faced a life-threatening health crisis earlier this year. According to Trump, the Republican lawmaker was given only months to live before undergoing urgent surgery. The intervention came after Trump personally stepped in to secure treatment at Walter Reed National Medical Center.
House Speaker Mike Johnson later confirmed the account, though Dunn's office has remained silent on the details.
Trump revealed that Dunn's condition was a severe heart problem, though the congressman's team had not made this public. The former president claimed Dunn was expected to die by June before the surgery took place. Trump and Johnson have since expressed hope that the procedure improved Dunn's outlook.
The disclosure came during a wider discussion where Trump also spoke about his chief of staff, Susie Wiles. She was recently diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer, but he described her prognosis as positive. He added that she would continue working while receiving treatment. Dunn's office has not responded to Trump's remarks about the congressman's health or the nature of his condition.
The surgery at Walter Reed followed Trump's direct involvement in securing medical care for Dunn. While Johnson supported the former president's version of events, no official statement has been released by Dunn's team. The congressman's current health status remains unconfirmed by his representatives.
