In a leaked email, Democratic megadonorJeffrey Leeds said that a Democratic senator had told him Hillary Clintonhad difficulty even climbing a podium when they did a joint event.
Leeds has donated large amounts to Democratic candidates and the Clinton Foundation over the years. In a 2015 email that was leaked after the hack of former Republican Secretary of State Colin Powell‘s email account, he told Powell privately that one of Clinton’s former Senate colleagues was concerned about her health.
“[Democratic Rhode Island Senator] Sheldon Whitehouse, who is a huge Clinton supporter, said they were both giving speeches at the same event a few months back and she could barely climb the podium steps,” Leeds told Powell.

Powell responded that he hadn’t heard anything specific, but “I think there’s something to it. On HD TV she doesn’t look good. She’s working herself to death.”
“She will turn 70 her first year in office,” he pointed out later in the email.
