UPDATE: Video of Hillary Clinton collapsing has been released.
There are various reports that Hillary Clinton suffered what is being labeled as a “medical episode” on Sunday morning. The alleged issue caused Clinton to abruptly leave a 9/11 commemoration ceremony early.
The Democratic presidential candidate was attending a ceremony at the September 11th memorial in New York City when she was forced to leave early. Clinton arrived at the event at 8:18 a.m. and left around 90 minutes later.
Rick Leventhal, Fox News Senior Correspondent, was the first to report on the situation and says his source was a member of the law enforcement at the event and was 15-feet away from Clinton when it happened.
