SPECULATION around Hillary Clinton’s health has resurfaced after she was again seen wearing a huge coat amid rumours she’s hiding a back brace.

The former US presidential candidate attended a memorial service dressed in the blue jacket, which she teamed with a US flag-patterned scarf.

Hillary has been spotted several times in recent weeks wearing oversized garments – ever since eagle-eyed social media users noticed a protrusion on her back.

During her Memorial Day appearance in Chappaqua, New York yesterday, Hillary marched alongside husband Bill Clinton and Governor Andrew Cuomo in 20C heat.

The 70-year-old tweeted a photo of herself standing beside a group of girl scouts after the parade, which attracted comments referring to  a “bulge” from other users.

Hillary wrote: “Just returned from marching in the annual Chappaqua Memorial Day Parade with everyone from Governors to Girls Scouts. Today we honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country to keep us safe here at home.”

The supposed back brace speculation started earlier this month after Hillary was snapped coming out of her daughter Chelsea's apartment in New York with a noticeable bulge under her jacket.

Some people commented online about Hillary's upright posture and how she was overdressed for the mild weather.

One Twitter user wrote: "(Hillary) looks to be wearing some sort of back brace - weird protrusion and scarf (80 degrees in NYC) up to her chin.

Another said: "Is Hillary wearing a back brace now? Something was not natural about her posture and bundled up clothing. Weird!"

Just a week after being captured leaving her daughter's home, Hillary appeared on stage in New Zealand and Australia, draped in a large £800 Hermes scarf.

And last week, she took to the stage at Harvard in 28C temperatures wearing a long coat and bulky scarf as she accepted the university's Radcliffe Medal for her leadership.
