Although Hillary Clinton was reportedly too sick to testify on the
deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, she apparently has
recovered well enough to enjoy a "year-end vacation in Punta Cana, in
the eastern coast of the Dominican Republic,"
Dominican Today reported Saturday.
"According to press reports, the Clintons will celebrate New Year’s
at the Puntacana Resort & Club and could also attend a fashion show
scheduled for December 29, which will be held in honor of famous
Dominican designer Oscar de la Renta," Dominican Today added.
On Friday, however,
CNN
reported that "doctors have grounded her from overseas travel for
several more weeks." The report made no mention of the trip to the
Dominican Republic.
The
Huffington Post
said Thursday that according to Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines,
Secretary Clinton "continues to recuperate at home and will resume her
office schedule next week." Reines also said that "Clinton had no
schedule this week because of a long-planned holiday," Matthew Lee
wrote.
Last week,
CNN
said Clinton was too sick to appear before Congress to testify on the
attack that saw four Americans killed, including Ambassador Chris
Stevens.
Earlier this month,
The Hill reported that Clinton was also too sick to "discuss North Korea's rocket launch with world leaders."
"State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Wednesday that
Clinton is 'really, very ill' and has been too sick to speak by phone to
Chinese and other world leaders following North Korea's launch of a
long-range rocket," Julian Pecquet wrote.
“I mean, very – this stomach virus is a pretty vicious one, so not yet,” Nuland added.
"Aides and doctors say Clinton contracted a stomach virus in early
December and became dehydrated, then fainted, fell and hit her head. She
was diagnosed with a concussion on Dec. 13 and hasn't been seen in
public since," Lee added.
According to Dominican Today, "Barbara Walters, Vogue editor Anna
Wintour, Spanish actress Mar Flores and her husband Javier Merino" will
join the Clintons, along with "other international jetsetters."
