Mitch McConnell’s wife has broken her silence about the 84-year-old senator’s health weeks after he was hospitalized.

Elaine Chao, who was Donald Trump’s first Transportation Secretary, finally issued a statement about her husband, revealing that she had not even flown to his bedside when he was taken to the hospital after being found unconscious and given CPR.

Chao, the daughter of a Chinese-American shipping billionaire, said that her ailing husband’s health “did not warrant an immediate return.” Her statement was given after days of questions from the Daily Beast, and mounting speculation that her husband was close to death.

It also came hours after CNN’s MAGA mouthpiece Scott Jennings claimed that McConnell had called him from his hospital bed on Tuesday morning to chat for 17 minutes.
