A CNN reporter said that President Donald Trump was apparently unnerved over questions about his health during a three-hour cabinet meeting on Tuesday, where he was caught snoozing.

Jamie Gangel described how Trump, 79, was captured dozing off on camera, closing his eyes and nodding off, while he and administration officials took press questions.

"I would just say he's very sensitive about it, there's no question," Gangel said, adding that Trump spoke directly about reports of his health during the meeting.

"He attacked Katie Rogers of The New York Times for the article that she wrote at the Cabinet meeting. One of the reasons it went on so long today was he did a whole treatise on his health," she added.

Trump claimed Monday that his health was "excellent" and released a physician memo about his recent MRI from his doctor that drew skepticism from other health experts.
