    Former President Bill Clinton has been hospitalized in California with sepsis, according to a report from CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta.

    "Yeah, so he went in on Tuesday ... I've just spoken to members of his staff and also to his doctors," Gupta said. "Apparently, he was not feeling well all day Tuesday. He was out in California for an event related to his foundation, was not feeling well, and was taken to the hospital, University of California, Irvine."

    "At that point was tested, as you mentioned, not COVID-related and also seemingly not related to his heart," Gupta continued. "He's had heart surgery, as you know, in the past ... including [a] heart operation in 2004 and a stent in 2010. What they think is going on with the president, the former president, now is a blood infection, sometimes known as sepsis."

    "This is an infection that is now being treated with IV antibiotics," Gupta continued. "And what they are saying is that he is responding well to those antibiotics. He's actually been increasingly mobile, able to get up and around, said they - he was even joking around with the hospital staff, so seems to be in good spirits."
