Donald Trump is said to be in excellent physical health.

A doctor's letter has been made public by the would-be president's campaign team.

It does say the 70 year old Republican nominee takes a cholesterol-lowering statin and is overweight.

Health is seen as a key issue in the run-up to the US election, after Hillary Clinton's bout of pneumonia.

Her camp have also released new medical notes as she prepares for her first public appearance since falling ill.

Her doctor says she is "healthy and fit to serve" as U.S. president.
