Chelsea Clinton told Matt Lauer Tuesday on TODAY that her mother, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton , is “as vibrant as ever” after sustaining a concussion and blood clot in her head, and that the Secretary is expected to return to full health soon.
“She is exuding the energy, the vibrancy and certainly the mental acuity that she always has,” Chelsea Clinton told Lauer. “I’m so grateful that she is not only fine, but healthy and vibrant and strong and, God willing, will be for the next 65 years of her life.”
