Nancy Pelosi hospitalized during congressional visit to Luxembourg

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was injured and admitted to the hospital in Luxembourg while on a congressional delegation trip to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, a Pelosi spokesperson said.

"Speaker Emerita Pelosi is currently receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals," Ian Krager, a spokesperson for Pelosi's congressional office wrote in a statement to reporters on Friday.

Krager said that Pelosi, 84, is continuing to work from the hospital and "regrets that she is unable to attend the remainder of the CODEL engagements to honor the courage of our servicemembers during one of the greatest acts of American heroism in our nation’s history.”

“Speaker Emerita Pelosi conveys her thanks and praise to our veterans and gratitude to people of Luxembourg and Bastogne for their service in World War II and their role in bringing peace to Europe,” he wrote.

It was not immediately clear what kind of injury the former speaker sustained or how long she would need to be treated in the hospital.

In the statement to reporters, Krager only wrote that Pelosi “looks forward to returning home to the U.S. soon.”

Pelosi's injury comes days after outgoing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell sustained injuries in Washington D.C. Tuesday after a fall. 

McConnell, 82, tripped during a lunch with Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill and “sustained a minor cut to the face and sprained his wrist,” a spokesperson for his office said.
