Mitch McConnell

Sen. Mitch McConnell’s aides have made a bombshell admission after dodging questions from the press for weeks about the 84-year-old’s health.

The senator’s team had previously refused to answer questions about his condition after he was found unconscious at home, administered CPR, and transported to hospital last month, as revealed in an EMS call.

McConnell’s office issued the first statement about his health since June 22 only after the Daily Beast asked a series of critical questions and published a story highlighting their refusal to even say where the senator was located.

In the emailed statement on Thursday, McConnell’s team revealed that the senator is still in hospital almost three weeks after the June 14 emergency call.

“Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital,” the statement reads. “The Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.”
