Trump Aides Raid UES Doctor Who Revealed Hair Loss, Report Says
Upper East Side doctor Harold Bornstein said the alleged raid occurred days after he revealed Trump takes Propecia for hair loss.

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — The Upper East Side office of Donald Trump's personal doctor was "raided" shortly after Trump was sworn in as president, according to reports.
Former Trump aide Keith Schiller — also the president's long-time bodyguard — and another "large man" seized Trump's medical records from Harold Bornstein's East 78th Street office on Feb. 3, 2017, the doctor told NBC News.
Bornstein — who served as Trump's personal doctor and claimed that he would be the healthiest president ever elected — told NBC News that he was never given a signed release form for the charts and lab records, which were the only copy in existence. Trump Organization Chief Legal Officer Alan Garten was also present during the alleged "raid" NBC News reported.

The records seizure occurred two days after Bornstein revealed that Trump was prescribed Propecia for hair loss as well as drugs for rosacea and cholesterol.
Bornstein told NBC News that he is coming out with his story now because White House Physician Ronny Jackson withdrew his nomination to lead the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and may not return to his job in the White House. Bornstein is said to have wanted the White House physician job after Trump was elected.

"I couldn't believe anybody was making a big deal out of a drug to grow his hair that seemed to be so important," Bornstein told NBC News. "And it certainly was not a breach of medical trust to tell somebody they take Propecia to grow their hair. What's the matter with that?"
