Dr. Harold N. Bornstein, who for a time was President Donald Trumpâs personal physician and who had attested that Trump would be âthe healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency,â died on Friday. He was 73.
His death was announced on Thursday in a paid notice in The New York Times. The notice did not give a cause or say where he died.
