President Barack Obama went to a hospital on Saturday after complaining about a sore throat, the White House announced.
According to the White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, Dr. Jackson, the president's physician, recommended he go to Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington for diagnostic tests.
'According to Dr. Jackson, the test is a matter of convenience for the President, not a matter of urgency,' the White House said.
The trip was unscheduled. The press pool, journalists who typically follow the president, had initially been dismissed for the day.
