The then-defense secretary also apologized for keeping his hospitalizations secret, saying he had wanted to keep his health matters private.<\/p>\n<p>After McConnell\u2019s office spent weeks dodging inquiries from the press about his health, an emergency personnel call revealed last week that the octogenarian had received CPR following an apparent heart attack on June 14. <\/p>\n<p>His team then said that he has been recovering at a hospital, but there have been almost no updates since. McConnell\u2019s staff is led by his longtime, camera-shy aide Terry Carmack, who is on track to earn more than $226,000 this year.<\/p>\n<p>His office provided a statement on July 2 that he \u201cis working closely with his staff,\u201d but did not elaborate. His Communications Director Stephanie Penn told the Daily Beast on Monday that they would \u201cbe sure to keep you updated.\u201d <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>But his office did not address the Daily Beast\u2019s specific questions on Monday about whether the senator was even conscious or on life support.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3051\">Trump Goons\u2019 Feud Over Make-a-Wish NASA Trip Is Leaked<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scott Jennings was confronted on air for excusing the secrecy around Mitch McConnell\u2019s health despite previously demanding transparency from the Biden administration over a top official\u2019s medical issues.
