Trump is expected to visit his brother Friday in New York, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.
"Can confirm the report that the President's brother is hospitalized," deputy press secretary Judd Deere told CNN.
Robert Trump was previously hospitalized in the spring with a serious condition.
The news was first reported by
ABC News.
A senior administration official said Friday that the President "has a very good relationship with his brother and his brother is very special to him."
Robert Trump was a former
top executive at the Trump Organization. He's one of four other siblings to the President, including the late Fred Trump, Jr.
In June, Robert Trump filed a temporary restraining order in an attempt to block the publication of an unflattering tell-all book by Mary Trump, the daughter of Fred Trump.
