Hillary Clinton was reportedly injured in India, and here's what we know
We recently learned that Hillary Clinton was treated for a minor injury while visiting western India. Clinton was brought to Jodhpur’s Goyal Hospital on Wednesday, March 14th, and was treated within 15 to 20 minutes, according to the hospital’s CEO, Suresh Goyal.
An employee of Umaid Bhawan Palace hotel anonymously told CBS and other media outlets that Clinton had sprained her wrist. He added that although Clinton stayed at the Umaid Bhawan, she did not sustain her injury there. Clinton hid her right arm with a large scarf while visiting monuments in Jaipur on Thursday, March 15th, which has led many to speculate that she did indeed sustain an injury in that location.

Although CBS and ABC News most recently reported that Clinton only suffered a sprain, Fox News reported earlier today, March 15th, that Clinton suffered a hairline fracture to her wrist after falling in her hotel room. Neither reports have yet to be confirmed by the Clinton camp.
Clinton is currently in India to visit local communities. She has already spoken to several audiences about the current state of America and about the 2016 election. According to CBS News, she said her election loss to Donald Trump was largely due to “middle America” during a speech in Mumbai, noting that Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan and campaign “was looking backwards.”
