HILL: New details are emerging about first lady, Melania Trump's, recent medical procedure. President Trump revealing the first lady actually underwent a nearly four-hour operation that is keeping her from flying.</s>DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: The first lady is great. Right there. She has to, and she wanted to go. Can't fly for one month. The doctors say. She had a big operation. It was close to a four-hour operation. She's doing great. Right there.</s>HILL: Mrs. Trump checked into the hospital on May 14th for what White House officials called an embolization procedure to treat a benign kidney condition. She was released five days later. Joining me now, Kate Bennett, CNN White House reporter who covers the first lady. Kate, this is the first time we've heard the word operation officially. Is this procedure, is there more to it? Was it more serious than it was first described?</s>KATE BENNETT, CNN WHITE HOUSE REPORTER: I think the first lady's office released a statement that was accurate. She did have an embolization procedure on a benign kidney condition. I think what the president is revealing is more information. It fills the gap in wondering why she did spend those extra five nights in the hospital when some medical professionals speculated it could have been an outpatient procedure. She is doing well. Certainly, now that we know it was a four-hour operation and she can't travel, that's a lot more information than we'v3e had in the past three and a half weeks or so. But I was just with her this week reporting on her and seemed fine, looked great. And I think her office is saying that she'll be up and running and joining more on the schedule soon.</s>HILL: We'll be looking for that. Kate, always appreciate it. Thank you.</s>BENNETT: Thank you.
