Bill Clinton seen with defibrillator in Hamptons — sparking new concerns over his health
Share and Follow

Bill Clinton is again under scrutiny regarding his health, as he and his wife, Hillary, were seen departing the Hamptons this week with a portable defibrillator bag in hand. This comes just two months after the 79-year-old former president was observed stumbling on a sidewalk in New York City.

The influential Democrat pair was photographed on Thursday carrying what seemed to be a Propaq MD Air Medical Bag, a device often used for monitoring and defibrillation in emergencies, as they boarded a private flight.

Clinton, wearing a blue jacket and tan hat, was accompanied by his security detail. Meanwhile, Hillary, the ex-secretary of state and former presidential candidate, opted for a black sweatshirt layered over her blue ensemble for their journey.

The sighting immediately reignited concerns about the ex-president’s fragile condition, given his long history of heart trouble.

Clinton has battled serious health problems for more than two decades, including a quadruple bypass and multiple hospitalizations.

The photos were first obtained by the Daily Mail.

Clinton has never publicly disclosed needing a portable defibrillator.

His medical history, however, is well-documented.

In 2004, just three years after leaving the White House, Clinton underwent emergency quadruple bypass surgery at Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan to repair nearly complete blockages in his arteries.

Doctors at the time said he had narrowly avoided a catastrophic heart attack.

He was back in the hospital in 2005 for surgery to repair a collapsed lung, which doctors said stemmed from scar tissue following his bypass.

Five years later, Clinton again reported chest pains and was rushed to a New York hospital, where cardiologists inserted two stents into a clogged artery.

The Arkansas-born politician tried to overhaul his lifestyle after those brushes with death. He went mostly vegan, lost weight and publicly credited the diet for giving him a “second chance.”

Still, his health woes persisted. In October 2021, Clinton was hospitalized for several days in California with a urological infection that spread into his bloodstream. He was treated for sepsis with IV antibiotics before being released.

His most recent scare came just last December, when he spent Christmas Eve at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC. His spokesperson said Clinton developed a fever and underwent testing, but was discharged the next day.

Clinton was also seen stumbling on a New York City sidewalk when he and Hillary were in town for a book tour.

The former commander in chief had to grab hold of a pole to walk into the event, and his left leg buckled, causing him to stumble.

The defibrillator sighting is likely to intensify speculation over whether his condition is worsening. Portable units like the one seen Thursday are designed to deliver emergency shocks to the heart and monitor patients with a high risk of cardiac arrest.

While rumors of Clinton suffering from degenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s have circulated in tabloids, no reputable outlet has confirmed any such diagnosis.

His doctors and aides have consistently declined to comment beyond acknowledging his past cardiac and infection-related treatments.

The Clintons have also remained under an intense political spotlight this summer for reasons unrelated to health.

Earlier this month, the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed both Bill and Hillary as part of its probe into the government’s handling of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Neither Clinton is accused of wrongdoing, but both have been called to testify this fall — Hillary on Oct. 9 and Bill on Oct. 14.

In his 2024 memoir, Clinton admitted to flying aboard Epstein’s jet but insisted he had no knowledge of the financier’s crimes.

“The bottom line is, even though it allowed me to visit the work of my foundation, traveling on Epstein’s plane was not worth the years of questioning afterward,” Clinton wrote.

“I wish I had never met him.”

The renewed scrutiny over Clinton’s health comes as he remains a visible figure on the Democratic fundraising circuit.

He delivered speeches during the 2024 campaign and has appeared at Clinton Foundation events despite visibly slowing down in recent years.

At 79, he is the third-oldest surviving president, trailing 82-year-old Joe Biden and George W. Bush, who is about seven weeks older than his predecessor.

Jimmy Carter, the longest-lived US president in history, died at 100 in December.

The Post has sought comment from the Clintons.
