McConnell dodges questions on his health in first press conference back in Washington

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell repeatedly refused to give more detail Wednesday on what exactly was ailing him during a pair of freezing episodes in recent weeks.

Mr. McConnell, Kentucky Republican, was peppered with questions about his health during Senate leadership’s first press conference since returning to Washington this week from a summer recess. He said the recent report from the U.S. Capitol attending physician Dr. Brian P. Monahan had “covered the subject fully.”

“I don’t have anything to add to it and I think it should answer any reasonable question,” Mr. McConnell said.
