Former U.S President Bill Clinton is recovering after two days of treatment for an infection in a California hospital, his doctors said.

The 75-year-old was admitted to the University of California Irvine Medical Center on Tuesday evening "for a non-COVID-19 infection," Clinton spokesman Angel Urena said on Twitter.
