"This evening, Senator Leahy was in his Capitol office and was not feeling well. He was examined in the Capitol by the Attending Physician," his spokesperson David Carle said in a statement."Out of an abundance of caution, the Attending Physician recommended that he be taken to a local hospital for observation, where he is now, and where he is being evaluated.
" Read MoreLeahy's hospitalization came soon after the impeachment trial began Tuesday afternoon with his swearing in. Leahy then swore in the rest of the Senate, and senators went four at a time to sign an"oath book" as jurors for the trial.The deal that Schumer and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell reached last week pushed back the start date for the substance of the proceedings, but several ceremonial functions of the trial took place Tuesday.
Another old white man
I hope he gets better, and everyone who is going through a hard time😇

What do you expect when you have a bunch of 80 year olds running the government? One more argument for term limits.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Nothing says 'we aren't a banana republic' like a voting juror also being the presiding judge over a trial to remove a private citizen from an office he no longer even holds. So many other things we could be doing...but this is the priority.
None political statement...I sure hope he is okay.
This man should not take on the stress of a trial is health should come first
He has the flu, he will be fine! With Democrat control, very few covid-19 deaths, but flu deaths will begin to spike!
The senator comes from a state with a Republican governor....
Hope he wasn't in close proximity to idiot RandPaul. I just made it through Covid - I wish him the strength he needs to get through it too.
He is about 500 years old. Hope he’s ok.
