Trump says 'I don't know' about McConnell's condition despite hospital photo

By Rena Rowe

President Donald Trump said he does not know whether Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is recovering and acknowledged he has little information about the Kentucky Republican's condition, despite McConnell releasing a photo of himself from the hospital.

"I don't hear much. I was, you know, never a huge fan, but he's one of the people who should be voting for John Thune, because you know John Thune was loyal to him," Trump said in an interview with Newsmax.

McConnell broke weeks of silence about his health Sunday, revealing he was hospitalized last month after suffering a fall. The senator added that he does not expect to "return to the Senate floor to vote quite yet."
