Now, Breitbart’s Big Journalism has an exclusive story that Logan is back in the hospital in Washington, D.C., reportedly for complications from the brutal sexual assault she suffered while covering the Tahrir Square uprising in Cairo in early 2011.
Ed Butowsky, a friend of Logan and her family, told Breitbart’s Matthew Boyle:
Very few people know how stoic and incredibly tough this lady is. In spite of everything she’s had to face in the last two years, people have no idea the physical suffering she has been enduring due to the brutal sexual assault she encountered in Egypt during the Arab Spring while reporting for ’60 Minutes.’
In an email, a “60 Minutes” spokesman told Breitbart:
“We were sorry to hear this morning that Lara was readmitted to the hospital,” the 60 Minutes spokesman added in an email. “We wish her a speedy recovery.”
