The former president, 75, was seen arriving to the Chappaqua residence in a black SUV as the vehicle was seen approaching the gate on Sunday night.

He left the University of California Irvine Medical Center in Orange, just southeast of Los Angeles, with his wife former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton earlier on Sunday.

Dressed in jeans and a sports coat and wearing a face mask, he made his way out of the hospital slowly and stopped to shake hands with doctors and nurses lined up on the sidewalk.

They departed in a motorcade escorted by the California Highway Patrol and headed to the airport.

Bill Clinton’s ‘fever and white blood cell count are normalized, and he will return home to New York to finish his course of antibiotics,’ Dr Alpesh N. Amin said in a statement shared on Twitter by a Clinton spokesman.

He plans to continue his recovery at his home in Chappaqua, New York, officials said.

His doctors told CNN on Thursday, October 14, that Clinton was in the ICU for privacy and safety, not because he needs intensive care. He is said to be in good spirits, talking to family and staff, and has been up and walking, according to both his doctors and his staff.

A  joint statement released on Thursday evening by Dr Alpesh Amin, chair of medicine at UC Irvine Medical Center, and Dr Lisa Bardack, Clinton’s personal primary physician read “He was admitted to the ICU for close monitoring and administered IV antibiotics and fluids. He remains at the hospital for continuous monitoring. After two days of treatment, his white blood cell count is trending down and he is responding to antibiotics well. We hope to have him go home soon”

The former President’s doctors said urologic infections are very common in older people, and they are easily treated, although they can quickly spread to the bloodstream. Clinton will be given intravenous antibiotics until Friday, October 15, when he will likely be switched to oral antibiotics. His vital measurements are all stable, the doctors said.

In the years since Clinton left the White House in 2001, the former president has faced health scares. In 2004, he underwent quadruple bypass surgery after experiencing prolonged chest pains and shortness of breath. He returned to the hospital for surgery for a partially collapsed lung in 2005, and in 2010 had a pair of stents implanted in a coronary artery.

The painting showed the former president lounging on a chair in the Oval Office wearing red heels and a blue dress reminiscent of a famous Monica Lewinsky outfit.

According an anonymous source who spoke to DailyMailTV, the painting was secretly photographed inside the paedophile’s $56 million home in October 2012.

She told DailyMailTV: “It was absolutely Bill Clinton. It was shocking – it was definitely a painting of him. It was a very provocative, sexual picture. He was wearing heels, a blue dress and his hand was in a weird position.”
