We’ve received a report that Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) was taken this afternoon to Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles.
We contacted Waxman’s office in order to confirm the story. A source in the office confirmed to us that the Congressman wasn’t feeling well today, and went to a hospital for what were described as routine checks. Further details were not immediately available, and the source was unable to confirm which hospital Waxman was taken to.
