Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, whose campaign was sidelined last fall when he suffered a heart attack, says he won't release his full medical records -- going back on a promise he made four months ago.
At a town hall event in Washington, D.C., Tuesday night, Sanders said he doesn't intend to publicize any more of his health records -- adding that he has so far released more than any other Democratic candidate.
"I think we have released a detailed medical report and I'm comfortable on what we have done," he said. When asked if he will release more, he added, "I don't think we will, no."
Sanders, who will be 79 by election day, was hospitalized on Oct. 1 after leaving a campaign fundraiser in Las Vegas with chest pains. Doctors said he had a heart attack and Sanders remained in a hospital for several days, effectively suspending major campaign activity in the interim.
The Vermont senator released three letters from physicians in December that described him as being in good health.
His refusal is an about-face from his position last October, when he said American voters "have a right to know about the health of a senator, somebody who's running for president of the United States -- full disclosure."
If he's elected, Sanders would be, by far, the oldest candidate to win the presidency. Trump is presently the oldest, as he was 70 when he won the White House in 2016. In fact, no U.S. president has ever occupied the White House at any time at Sanders' age. The eldest, Ronald Reagan, ended his presidency at age 77.

They'd better, he old, hard of hearing.
Pete is a homo. Homos are prone to STDs.
Trump’s tax returns as a private citizen are nobody’s business. The New York State Division of Taxation and Finance does a very thorough job. I’ve been there.
LOL
I guess he doesn’t want the public to realize he suffers from the same disease that did in Al Capone by rotting Capone’s brain?
“Of course, as in Young Frankenstein, they stopped the shocking 10 seconds too early!”
With Biden’s Abbynormal brain, the shock treatment are worthless.
Of course he won’t. They’d have to include the diagnoses of senility and rectal-cranial inversion in there.
Commie reptilians are always reluctant to release their medical records.
FDR had a lot of executive experience along with a lot of practical political experience. Bernie has none.
FDR had helpers, and so will Bernie.
So how many times do you plan on voting for Bernie?
As many times as you have defended him today?
Nah, just two or three FTRs [Fisticly transferred Rolexes, trapped in his nether regions]
