long time ago a but the public d the press only found out about it after it was over. they found out about it. a statement that the white house put out. this morning, first lady melania trump over underwent an embolism procedure to take care of a kidney. we don t know what the procedure is but it s typically used to treat tumors. it seems that it was a benign tumor. they take a catheter, put it in an artery, and inject particles into the blood vessels surrounding the tumor, cutting off the blood supply and killing it.ll that is what happened here. by all accounts, it was a success. as for the president, he came and visited his wife a few hours ago here at walter reed and the reason he didn t come here in thehe morning when the procedure was happening, we are told, because he didn t want to tip off the press. anywhere the president goes, the press will follow.
