The 78-year-old Democrat was hospitalized on Monday afternoon for testing and observation.
Clinton served two terms as president from January 1993 until January 2001. He addressed the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this summer, and campaigned in the fall for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, who lost the election to Republican Donald Trump in November.
Clinton recently published his newest book, “Citizen,” a memoir about his life after the White House and the role of philanthropy in it.
