While President Donald Trump’s recent MRI scan has renewed questions about his health, a former White House physician is now challenging the timeline of his care, asserting it doesn’t make sense and could point to the president having undergone additional procedures.

Trump revealed last week that he had undergone an MRI scan earlier in October at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, calling it “perfect” while speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One. The White House described the visit as routine, but medical experts have pushed back on that assertion, with one claiming there to be nothing routine about an MRI scan.

Now, former White House physician Jeffrey Kuhlman is questioning the timeline of President Donald Trump’s medical care, noting that the official account leaves several hours unexplained....
