GOP strategist Rove denies saying Hillary Clinton may have suffered brain damage

Republican strategist Karl Rove has reportedly denied reports suggesting that he said Hillary Clinton may have suffered brain damage.

According to Politico, when asked about a New York Post report that said he suggested the former secretary of State might have brain damage from a blood clot she suffered in 2012, Rove said that he never used the phrase.

However, he said that Clinton was going through a serious of health episode and will have to answer various questions about her health and age if she wished to run for the presidential elections in 2016.

Meanwhile, in response to Rove's comments, the vice president of research at Medstar National Rehabilitation Hospital and neurologist Alexander Dromerick, said during an interview that there was no hint of a brain injury in Hillary's case.

Dromerick said the kind of blood clot Clinton sustained was caused by a concussion or dehydration, adding that her clot wasn't technically in the brain itself but in a vein draining blood from her brain.

He further said that her official work and public appearances since then all indicate that she made a full recovery, the report added.
