First lady Melania Trump recovering at hospital after kidney surgery

First lady Melania Trump underwent kidney surgery Monday and is expected to remain hospitalized for several days, her spokeswoman said.

Trump had been experiencing issues with her kidney and was admitted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center outside Washington, D.C., for an “embolization procedure,” the first lady’s communications director, Stephanie Grisham, said in a statement.

“The procedure was successful and there were no complications,” Grisham said, characterizing the 48-year-old first lady’s kidney condition as “benign.”
