Former US President Bill Clinton will be home for Christmas after being discharged from a hospital in Washington, DC, where he was treated for flu.
The 78-year-old Democrat was admitted with a fever on Monday afternoon.
A spokesman said Clinton was released Tuesday in gratitude for the care he received at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.
The spokesman said Clinton sent everyone his warmest wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season. Clinton, who served two terms as president between 1993 and 2001, campaigned for Vice President Kamala Harris in her presidential bid this fall.
