Trump Issues Statement Regarding Health of Mitch McConnell

But later, in one of the few public updates on the Kentucky Republican’s condition, his staff only said that he was receiving “excellent care.”

However, others who should know more about McConnell’s condition don’t. That includes the president of the United States.

Libby Dean, the White House correspondent for NewsNation, tweeted on Wednesday: “President Trump says he has ‘no idea’ how Sen. Mitch McConnell is doing and says he hasn’t spoken with the Kentucky Republican since McConnell’s hospitalization.”
