Hillary Clinton’s campaign announced Sunday that she was diagnosed with pneumonia, just hours after the former Secretary of State nearly collapsed at a 9/11 memorial service.

Clinton’s campaign initially claimed that she had “overheated” during the event, with temperatures in the low 80s. This comes after weeks of speculation from critics that Clinton has pervasive health problems. Clinton made an appearance in New York later that day.
