(AP Photo/Erik S. Lesser)Former President Jimmy Carter was scheduled to appear in Washington, D.C. today to discuss his new book White House Diary, which includes selections from over 5,000 pages of personal notes he took while in office on everything from the Iran hostage crisis to creating the Department of Energy.
Carter fell ill on Tuesday in Cleveland and was rushed to the hospital with stomach issues. He appears to be back to “normal,” in a statement issued by the Carter Center this morning, but has canceled his D.C. appearances today, including the 12:30 p.m. book signing at Politics and Prose and the 7 p.m. discussion at the Lisner Auditorium. Neither have been rescheduled.
