- Rep. Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, has urged the White House physician to conduct a comprehensive cognitive assessment of Donald Trump, citing concerns about his mental fitness.
- Raskin's request follows Trump's threats to destroy Iranian civilization and other "incoherent, volatile, profane, deranged, and threatening" statements.
- The White House dismissed Raskin's concerns, with a spokesman praising Trump's "sharpness" and "unmatched energy" while criticizing Raskin.
- Other lawmakers, including Rep. Jasmine Crocket and Marjorie Taylor Greene, have expressed concerns about Trump's mental state, with some calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked.
- Trump has previously boasted about passing a cognitive test multiple times. The president has also been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency and has sported a bruised hand.
