was such a good soul. there s so much to this, but i also wanted to say to all of you people on social media who say, oh, you see the vaccines don t work, because he and his wife were fully vaccinated. colin powell was an 84-year-old man with serious underlying conditions. he had had prostate cancer. he had multiple myeloma and what is not well known is that he also had parkinson s in later years, so he and his wife had both been fully vaccinated. alma powell is going to be 84, october 27th. they are in that age bracket. he is a man and more vulnerable. and nicole, what i can also report now is that he wasn t feeling well. they both were tested a week ago monday, october 11th, and they tested positive. because he wasn t feeling well, he had planned and scheduled a booster shot, last week, but he already wasn t feeling well and then they tested positive.
he fell ill, he wasn t feeling well, he was taken to uci, and they say that he is being treated for sepsis, effectively a blood infection. they took pains to say this is also not related not only is it not related to covid but it s not related to his heart. he, of course, had heart surgery in, i believe, 2004, had a stent put in some years after that. but this is apparently not related to his heart. and this is not related to covid. again, the spokesman for former president clinton saying it is a non-covid-related infection, he s on the mend and in good spirits. nbc has not confirmed the reporting from cnn tonight that this relates to a blood infection, sepsis, for which he s being treated with antibiotics. in either case, the former president is said to be on the mend and in good spirits, which is a good sign. but we ll keep you posted as we learn more about that. again, breaking news just within the last few minutes. all right. one of the stories that i said
a non-covid-related infection. the statement continues, quote, he s on the mend, in good spirits and is incredibly thankful to the doctors, nurses, and staff providing him with excellent care. that s obviously a bare bones statement from president clinton s spokesman. nbc has confirmed the basics of this. i can tell you that cnn is reporting tonight that and nbc has not confirmed this, but cnn is reporting tonight that the former president was in california on tuesday for an event related to the clinton foundation. he fell ill, he wasn t feeling well, he was taken to uci, and they say that he is being treated for sepsis, effectively a blood infection. they took pains to say this is also not related not only is it not related to covid but it s not related to his heart. he of course had heart surgery in i believe 2004, had a stent put in some years after that. but this is apparently not
indicted. there s a big investigation by the southern district of new york. and i think it truly centers around the removal of the ukrainian ambassador. the u.s. ambassador. the u.s. ambassador to the ukraine. that is a big component of that investigation. they re in the middle of that investigation. we ll see. we ll see what information they provide to members of congress. the other thing i wonder, is this some kind of signal that perhaps they re trying to send to prosecutors in new york that maybe somewhere down the line, they would be willing to cooperate? another story i know you were watching today, the long time trump associate roger stone s trial is just beginning here in d.c. it s just beginning, opening statements tomorrow. tow he had to go home early today, roger stone, he wasn t feeling well, the judge let him go home and they continued jury selection. tomorrow we ll get opening statements and perhaps see one of the first witnesses in this case. we don t know who tha
