Former President Bill Clinton, 78, was hospitalized Monday and is undergoing testing after developing a fever.
Angel Urena, Clinton's former deputy chief of staff, wrote on X that the former president was admitted to Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C., but is doing 'fine.'
'He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving.'
Urena added that the former president hopes to be home and out of the hospital in time for Christmas.
He said that Clinton was receiving care as a precaution after developing a fever.
It was 'not an emergency situation,' according to reports.
Clinton's health has been in the spotlight in recent years as the once-vibrant Democrat has noticeably aged.

Trump railed against Clinton in their 2016 campaign and his nominee to lead the FBI, Kash Patel, has said he thinks the former secretary of state has potentially committed crimes.
'Lock her up,' was a common chant about Clinton from Trump supporters. The president-elect also vowed revenge against those he calls his political enemies.
