Sen. Mitch McConnell,<\/a> R-Ky., nearly a month after being hospitalized, revealed what actually happened to cause his absence from the Senate.<\/p>\n

In a lengthy statement released Sunday evening, McConnell attributed his childhood fight with polio to a fall he suffered last month which landed him in the hospital. He was “briefly unconscious,” he said in an open letter to Kentuckians<\/a>, and while recovering was hit with a “mild case of pneumonia.”<\/p>\n

“My doctors have confirmed that I didn\u2019t break any bones or suffer a concussion,” McConnell said. “I didn\u2019t have a heart attack or a stroke. I don\u2019t have any tumors or hemorrhages.”<\/p>\n

Yet, when he will return to the Senate<\/a> remains a mystery, something that McConnell himself acknowledged.<\/p>\n

“As much as it frustrates me, this process takes time. And on the advice of my doctors, I won\u2019t be able to return to the Senate<\/a> floor to vote quite yet,” McConnell said. “But rest assured that, in the meantime, I\u2019m not taking a break from the Senate business that matters to you.”<\/p>\n

His attending physician noted that McConnell has, “experienced several falls throughout the year that have been attributed to his post-polio condition.”<\/p>\n

MCCONNELL WAS FOUND ‘UNCONSCIOUS’ IN HOME LAST MONTH AS CONDITION REMAINS UNKNOWN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“He was admitted to the hospital four weeks ago after falling at home and sustaining minor injuries,” McConnell\u2019s doctor said.<\/p>\n

“A comprehensive evaluation by a multidisciplinary team determined that he had no fractures, cardiac abnormalities, stroke, tumor, or hemorrhage,” his doctor continued. “Early in his hospitalization, he developed pneumonia, which responded rapidly to antibiotic treatment.”<\/p>\n

The latest update on the longtime lawmaker\u2019s health comes after the sudden death of<\/a> Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who had just returned from a trip to Ukraine on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

McConnell\u2019s absence, coupled with the shocking death of Graham, leaves the Senate down two crucial votes amid a dead sprint to wrap up key parts of President Donald Trump’s<\/a> agenda through July and into early August.<\/p>\n

It also comes after over three weeks of speculation as to why the Senate GOP\u2019s longest serving leader in history was sidelined.<\/p>\n

His office for several weeks did not reveal the true nature of his condition<\/a>, nor explain how he ended up in the hospital. That prompted a firestorm online that alleged that McConnell was in a vegetative state.<\/p>\n

Adding to the morbid intrigue was leaked emergency dispatch audio from June 14, the day he was hospitalized, that revealed the longtime Senate Republican<\/a> was “unconscious” and may have suffered a heart attack.<\/p>\n

Further compounding the hazy nature of the situation was his wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao\u2019s, trip to China just days after his hospitalization. Chao\u2019s office previously told Fox News Digital that, “The secretary was on a long-planned trip in China to support her family’s philanthropic endeavors.”<\/p>\n

“During the trip, she met with a number of people, including the U.S. ambassador,” her office said. “The Senator’s health did not warrant an immediate return to the U.S.”<\/p>\n

McConnell\u2019s statement did not directly address much of the speculation that surrounded his hospitalization. But, he did vow to return to the Senate once he was able.<\/p>\n

“You\u2019re right to expect your representatives to work hard for you. And part of my decision to retire at the end of my term this coming January was being honest about the demands of Senate work,” McConnell said. “But I still have unfinished business to complete on your behalf, and I have every intention of finishing the job you elected me to do.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
