Bill Clinton is facing renewed questions about his health after he and his wife, Hillary, were spotted leaving the Hamptons this week with a portable defibrillator bag in tow — just two months after the 79-year-old former president was seen stumbling on a Big Apple sidewalk.
The longtime Democratic power couple was photographed Thursday carrying what appeared to be a Propaq MD Air Medical Bag — a transport monitor and defibrillator commonly used in emergencies — as they boarded a private plane.
Clinton, dressed in a blue jacket and tan hat, was escorted by his security team. Hillary, the former secretary of state and twice-failed presidential candidate, covered up in a black sweatshirt over her blue two-piece outfit for the flight.

The sighting immediately reignited concerns about the ex-president’s fragile condition, given his long history of heart trouble.
Clinton has battled serious health problems for more than two decades, including a quadruple bypass and multiple hospitalizations.
The photos were first obtained by the Daily Mail.
Clinton has never publicly disclosed needing a portable defibrillator.
His medical history, however, is well-documented.
In 2004, just three years after leaving the White House, Clinton underwent emergency quadruple bypass surgery at Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan to repair nearly complete blockages in his arteries.
Doctors at the time said he had narrowly avoided a catastrophic heart attack.
He was back in the hospital in 2005 for surgery to repair a collapsed lung, which doctors said stemmed from scar tissue following his bypass.

Five years later, Clinton again reported chest pains and was rushed to a New York hospital, where cardiologists inserted two stents into a clogged artery.
The Arkansas-born politician tried to overhaul his lifestyle after those brushes with death. He went mostly vegan, lost weight and publicly credited the diet for giving him a “second chance.”
Still, his health woes persisted. In October 2021, Clinton was hospitalized for several days in California with a urological infection that spread into his bloodstream. He was treated for sepsis with IV antibiotics before being released.
His most recent scare came just last December, when he spent Christmas Eve at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC. His spokesperson said Clinton developed a fever and underwent testing, but was discharged the next day.
Clinton was also seen stumbling on a New York City sidewalk when he and Hillary were in town for a book tour.
The former commander in chief had to grab hold of a pole to walk into the event, and his left leg buckled, causing him to stumble.
The defibrillator sighting is likely to intensify speculation over whether his condition is worsening. Portable units like the one seen Thursday are designed to deliver emergency shocks to the heart and monitor patients with a high risk of cardiac arrest.

While rumors of Clinton suffering from degenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s have circulated in tabloids, no reputable outlet has confirmed any such diagnosis.
His doctors and aides have consistently declined to comment beyond acknowledging his past cardiac and infection-related treatments.
The Clintons have also remained under an intense political spotlight this summer for reasons unrelated to health.
