Bill Clinton has been released from hospital after spending four nights in the care of doctors.

The former president, 75, appeared in good spirits as he left the University of California Irvine Medical Centre on the arm of wife Hillary today.

Doctors treated him for a urological infection that spread to his bloodstream.

The politician had suffered from fatigue and received IV antibiotics and fluids.

His spokesman Angel Urena said earlier in the week he had received further intravenous antibiotics, but all health indicators were ‘trending in the right direction’.

President Joe Biden said he had been ‘exchanging calls’ about Mr Clinton, adding ‘he seems to be, God willing, doing well’.

It is one in a number of health scares since the Democrat left the White House in 2001.

He underwent quadruple bypass surgery after experiencing prolonged chest pains and shortness of breath back in 2004.

Mr Clinton also had further surgery for a partially collapsed lung in 2005.

Another incident in 2010 saw him have a pair of stents implanted in a coronary artery.

His illness comes as American Crime Story: Impeachment is set to premiere in the UK on Tuesday.

The new season will tell the story of Mr Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky that led to his impeachment in 1998.
