Trump wishes Clinton well, says he will release physical results this week

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said Monday he hopes his rival Hillary Clinton gets well soon and that he is planning to release results of a recent physical sometime this week.

"I hope she gets well, and I hope she gets well soon," the billionaire businessman told CNBC Monday morning. "But it was quite sad to be honest with you, and I hope she gets well soon."

Clinton became overheated, according to aides, and fell ill during Sunday's 9/11 memorial service in New York City. She was seen buckling at the knees while being helped into a van as she left the event in video captured by a bystander.

She then went to rest at her daughter's house in Manhattan, emerging hours later saying she felt much better. Clinton's campaign revealed later that the 68-year-old had been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday.

"I saw what was going on with her and I said, you know, 'I'm going to go do something' and I actually took a physical last week and probably, I guess this week, will release the results of it," Trump said.

Trump brought up previous moments on the campaign trail when Clinton was seen coughing and said it'll be "very interesting to see what's going on."

"I want her to get better. I want her to get out there. I look forward to seeing her in the debate," said the GOP candidate.

The public episode comes after weeks of growing speculation on the right about the Democratic presidential nominee's health.

Meghan McCain, whose father Sen. John McCain ran for president as the GOP nominee in 2008, has been very vocal on the issue.

While concerns about Clinton's health had been primarily covered by more conservative media sites, Sunday's event threw the issue into the mainstream.

A number of new questions have arisen, including whether or not a coughing fit Clinton experienced during an appearance last week -- initially dismissed by the campaign as allergies -- was related to her diagnosis.

Pneumonia, while relatively common, killed more than 50,000 people in the U.S. in 2013, according to the CDC.
