Dr. Mehmet Oz plans to do the impossible during his upcoming interview with Donald Trump: He will somehow ask the Republican nominee "pointed questions about his health" without asking "questions he doesn't want to have answered."
The host of The Dr. Oz Show sent these mixed messages during an interview Tuesday on Fox News Radio's Kilmeade & Friends. Just seconds after Oz said he's going to look at Trump's record and ask the tough questions, he backtracked, saying, "The metaphor for me is this is the doctor's office, the studio. So, I'm not going to ask him questions he doesn't want to have answered." Oz also said he "doesn't want to talk about anybody else," and "we're not going to be talking about Secretary Clinton, for sure," and he won't "talk about things that are outside the health purview."
