Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has claimed that Senator Mitch McConnell and his team have not issued direct verbal statements amid ongoing public speculation regarding his health, revealing he received separate calls from two non-state agencies suggesting the 84-year-old Republican had passed away.
Speaking on CBS News' 'Face the Nation', the Democratic governor expressed frustration over the prolonged lack of direct communication from the Senator, who has not been seen in public since an emergency hospitalisation on 14 June at George Washington University Hospital.
