00:00Frail Bill Clinton leaves Hamptons with defibrillator.

00:03Former President Bill Clinton, 79, has sparked renewed concern over his health

00:08after he and his wife, Hillary Clinton, were photographed leaving the Hamptons

00:13carrying a medical defibrillator, RadarOnline.com can report.

00:17The couple was seen at the airport on Thursday, August 28,

00:21with what appeared to be a Propac MD Air medical bag,

00:24a portable transport monitor, and a defibrillator.

00:27The sighting quickly reignited speculation about the former president's condition,

00:32given his long history of cardiac problems.

00:35Clinton, dressed in a blue jacket and tan hat,

00:38exited a vehicle accompanied by security before boarding the plane.

00:41His health, drawing considerable public concern,

00:44has visibly affected the once-energetic Democrat as he's aged.

00:48He has also faced multiple health emergencies since leaving the White House.

00:52Last year, Clinton was discharged from the hospital on Christmas Eve

00:56after being treated for the flu.

00:58The former president had been admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital

01:02in Washington, D.C. on December 23rd after developing a fever.

01:07Doctors conducted additional testing before releasing him.

01:10Angel Urena, his former deputy chief of staff,

01:13said in a statement at the time,

01:14President Clinton was discharged earlier today after being treated for the flu.

01:18He and his family are deeply grateful for the exceptional care provided by the team

01:23at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital,

01:25and are touched by the kind messages and well wishes he received.

01:28He sends his warmest wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season to all.

01:33Urena had noted a day earlier that Clinton was in good spirits

01:36and hoped to spend Christmas at home.

01:38That episode came just two years after Clinton was hospitalized in 2021

01:42with a urological infection that spread to his bloodstream,

01:45a scare that raised alarms about his fragile health.

01:48Clinton's heart issues date back nearly two decades.

01:52In 2004, he underwent a quadruple heart bypass

01:55at the Vivian and Seymour Milstein Family Heart Center

01:57after doctors found nearly 100% artery blockage.

02:02Doctors said he narrowly avoided a major heart attack.

02:05In 2010, he had a stent procedure,

02:07considered common but necessary given his history.

02:10Alongside health concerns,

02:12the Clintons have also been drawn back into the public eye for political reasons.

02:17On August 5th, they were subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee

02:20over the investigation into the government's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.

02:24Though neither is under direct investigation,

02:27both must provide depositions,

02:29with Clintons slated for October 14th and Hillary's for October 9th.

02:33Compliance remains uncertain.

02:35Clinton, in his memoir last year,

02:37mentioned flying on Epstein's jet

02:39but denied knowing of his crimes,

02:41expressing regret.

02:43I wish I'd never met him,

02:45acknowledging the lasting fallout.
