“Providing details of his annual medical report on Friday (April 24, 2026), he said: “I had a minor medical issue with my prostate that was completely treated. Thank God, it’s behind me.””
SINGLE SOURCE
The specific detail regarding the date (April 24, 2026) and the exact quote ('I had a minor medical issue with my prostate that was completely treated.') appears in one web search result. While other web results mention the annual medical report and prostate treatment, they do not corroborate this specific date and quote from multiple independent sources. The Wikipedia results are irrelevant to the claim.
