GEOFF BENNETT: There's another issue that you are tracking Lisa.

So this has to do with the health of the former Senate leader, Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell.

What more do you know?

LISA DESJARDINS: OK.

Yes, let's get into this.

I know a lot of our viewers are paying attention to this.

McConnell was admitted to the hospital three weeks ago.

But beyond that, we don't know very much from his office.

His office has not said why he was admitted.

They only issued this statement.

This was his most recent statement from a spokesperson.

"The senator continues to improve and is working closely with his staff in Kentucky and Senate matters" -- oh, sorry, -- "on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session."

Now, at the same time, we know there is ems audiotape from a dispatch on the date that he was admitted to the hospital, June 14, indicating someone from his home was given CPR for cardiac arrest.

We haven't been able to verify that that was McConnell himself, but a lot of people believe -- what are the chances that someone else in McConnell's home who was admitted in the hospital at day had a cardiac arrest?

There have been vast conspiracies about this.

Some of our viewers have heard them probably, but I have spoken to McConnell contacts who say they have texted back and forth with him.

Others have publicly said they have had long conversations with him.

So this brings up the question, why do we not know?

Why is he not saying what happened to him?

McConnell's 84 years old.

He is the person who served the longest as a party leader in the Senate.

And one thing you and I both know from covering him, there's no one more disciplined and perhaps more private about his health concerns.

This is not his first health concern.

He froze up twice before in press conferences before he left leadership.

So I believe we probably won't know what has happened to him until he wants to tell us.

But there is a real issue of disclosure.

Especially, we're hearing that from people in his state.

GEOFF BENNETT: Lisa Desjardins, thanks, as always.

LISA DESJARDINS: You're welcome.
