President Trump spent more than two hours at Walter Reed National Medical Center on Saturday, undergoing what the White House said were medical tests as part of his annual physical.

The appointment -- which followed a previous exam in February -- didn't appear on the president's public schedule, as was the case for his physicals last year and this year. White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told Fox News' "Justice with Judge Jeanine" on Saturday night that Trump had decided to "kind of get a headstart with some routine checkups."

"We've got a really busy year ahead, as you can imagine," said Grisham, referring to the president's 2020 reelection campaign. " ... It was very routine. We had a down day today and so he made the decision to head there."
