Melania Trump will be in the hospital for a few days in order to recover from an operation to address a condition with her kidneys.

The First Lady’s press office released a statement to the media today, saying that Mrs. Trump had “a surgical procedure for a benign kidney condition” at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
