Former president Bill Clinton was discharged from a Washington, D.C. hospital on Christmas Eve after being treated for the flu, his spokesman said.

Clinton “and his family are deeply grateful for the exceptional care provided by the team at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and are touched by the kind messages and well wishes he received. He sends his warmest wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season to all,” the former president’s deputy chief of staff Angel Ureña said in a statement Tuesday morning.

The former president was hospitalized Monday afternoon for testing and observation after developing a fever, though Ureña said at the time that he was “in good spirits.”

“The former president will be fine,” a source told NBC News on Monday. “He developed a fever and wanted to be checked out. He is awake and alert.”

Clinton was previously admitted to a California hospital for six days in 2021 after a urinary tract infection reached his bloodstream. He also faced health scares involving his heart in 2010 and 2004. Clinton left office in 2001.

The prominent Democrat campaigned for Vice President Kamala Harris and has kept a busy travel schedule post-election. Clinton recently released a memoir, “Citizen: My Life After the White House,” in which he reflects on significant U.S. and world events following his presidency such as the 9/11 terrorist attack, the Iraq War, the Great Recession, and the January 6 Capitol riot.

During his speech at the Democratic National Convention in August, Clinton said he may not be able to attend future conventions depending on his health: “I have no idea how many more of these I’ll be able to come to.”
