Hillary Clinton was forced to leave the 9/11 memorial service early. According to reports and statements from the Democratic presidential candidate's campaign, Ms. Clinton left the event due to 'heat exhaustion'. Reports indicate that Ms. Clinton left the ceremony at 9:30 AM on Sunday, September 11, after attending for an hour. Nick Merrill, a spokesperson for the Clinton campaign, stated that she went to her daughter Chelsea's house after leaving the event and that she is 'doing much better now'. Journalists saw Hillary at 11:45 AM leaving Chelsea's house, smiling and waving to them as she headed to her own home in Chappaqua, north of New York State. She told a young girl who approached her on the street, 'I feel great, and today is a beautiful day in New York.' On Sunday morning, news circulated on social media and news networks that Clinton had to leave the 9/11 ceremony due to medical issues. Given that the event she attended was small and not promotional, there were not many journalists present. Both U.S. presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, postponed their campaign activities on September 11, in honor of the victims of the terrorist attacks 15 years ago in America. Hillary Clinton's physical health has been a point of attack for Mr. Trump, her Republican rival in the upcoming election. He has attempted to draw public attention to Ms. Clinton's health status in recent months. In a tweet published in August, Trump stated that he was willing to release a report on his health. In that same tweet, he challenged his Democratic rival to do the same. A few months ago, Hillary Clinton stated in a television program that 'I feel very well and have never been healthier.' In this context, Donald Trump has called for an investigation into the Clinton Foundation.
