An aide to Mitch McConnell declined to answer an independent journalist twice on Wednesday when confronted in Washington over whether the Republican senator will release a video statement regarding his health.
In case you missed it, the 84-year-old Kentucky politician was last seen in public on 14 June, when emergency services were dispatched to his Washington residence. Medics logged the incident as a cardiac arrest and reported that CPR was performed at the scene before the senator was transported to George Washington University Hospital for further treatment.
