Top doctor raises concern over McConnell 'elder abuse' [View all]

A doctor has questioned whether Mitch McConnell was the subject of “elder abuse” after confidants of the former Republican Senate leader claimed they spoke to him at length on policy issues while he was still recovering in the hospital.

McConnell’s team has provided almost no details on his health as he has remained hospitalized for more than three weeks, but the handling of his mysterious medical emergency and lack of information have sparked serious concerns.

First responders were called to his address on June 14 for a “full cardiac arrest.” Dispatch audio revealed the person was unconscious and CPR was administered.

McConnell’s office has not provided further details on what happened but said in a July 2 statement that the 84-year-old senator was improving and working with his staff.
