Hillary Clinton fractures elbow in fall

Secretary of State Hilary Rodham Clinton fractured her right elbow during a fall on June 17, according to a report by the Associated Press.



Clinton was on her way to the White House when she fell and injured her elbow, chief of staff Cheryl Mills said in a statement.



Clinton was treated at The George Washington University Hospital, just a few blocks from State Department headquarters, before going home. She will undergo surgery to repair her elbow in the coming week, Mills said.



Clinton had been scheduled to join actress Angelina Jolie today at a Washington event marking World Refugee Day.
