Sanders’ office released a one paragraph statement this afternoon, The Associated Press reported. The presidential candidate will return to his office on Capitol Hill tomorrow.
Other politicians have received treatment at GW Hospital in the past. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid had eye surgery at the hospital in January, and former Vice President Dick Cheney was treated by doctors there for heart problems several times, including a mild heart attack in 2010.
