Donald Trump's ex doctor says office was 'raided' for medical files
Donald Trump's personal doctor has claimed his New York office was "raided" shortly after he told a newspaper that the president had taken hair growth medication for years.
Dr Harold Bornstein told NBC News that Mr Trump's personal bodyguard, a Trump administration employee, and one other man turned up at his office last February to take the president's medical records. The 25- to 30-minutes process left him feeling "raped, frightened and sad," he said.
Mr Bornstein said the men did not give him a form authorising the release of the documents they took, which included the original and only copy of Mr Trump's charts. They also asked him to take down a picture he had taken with the president.
Mr Bornstein identified two of the men who entered his office that day as Keith Schiller, Mr Trump's longtime personal bodyguard, and Alan Garten, the Trump Organisation's chief legal officer. He could not identify the third man.
Neither Mr Schiller nor Mr Garten responded to a request for comment, according to NBC.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed that the White House Medical Unit had taken possession of the president's records, but called it "standard operating procedure" for a new administration.
Asked if she would characterise the incident as a raid, she said: "No, that is not my understanding."
