Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 84, was rushed to the hospital on Friday while on a foreign trip.
‘While on a trip with a bipartisan group of lawmakers in Luxembourg to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi experienced an injury during an official event and was taken to the hospital for assessment,’ according to her spokesperson Ian Krager.
Krager said she is receiving ‘excellent treatment’ from doctors and medical professionals.
As a result of the injury, she will be canceling the rest of her engagements on the congressional delegation trip.
A source told DailyMail.com that she fell down some stairs during the visit, but her injuries are not serious.
The visit to Luxembourg, hosted by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., was announced to commemorate the battle with a bipartisan group of nearly 20 lawmakers.
‘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,’ Krager went on.
‘Speaker Emerita Pelosi was personally and officially honored to travel with the distinguished delegation, many of whom had family members who fought in World War II — including her uncle, Johnny. She looks forward to returning home to the U.S. soon.’
Her incident comes days after outgoing GOP Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, 82, fell during a Senate lunch this week.

‘The sacrifices of brave #WWII soldiers echo from the past, reminding us that each generation must continue the fight for freedom and democracy.’
Speaker Mike Johnson previewed the trip, saying it is an ‘honor’ to mark the occasion.
‘In the early hours of December 16, 1944, 80 years ago, Nazi Germany waged a surprise attack against the Allied powers. Now known as the deadliest battle fought by the United States in the entire war, the Battle of the Bulge exemplified the tenacity and determination of U.S. and Allied forces who were willing to sacrifice everything in service of total victory over the Nazis,’ Speaker Johnson said in a statement.
‘It is my honor to host this Congressional delegation to the site of the Battle of the Bulge and join the world in celebrating the heroic contributions of the young men who fought and died on the battlefield and ultimately changed the course of human history.’
