An EMS audio recording published by an independent journalist indicates that emergency responders were called to the Washington, DC, home of Sen. Mitch McConnell for an “unconscious” person the same day he was hospitalized last month.
In the audio, the dispatcher says the call is for a “cardiac arrest” and a paramedic is heard saying, “CPR in progress.”
Audio of the call was first shared on X by journalist Desiree Townsend and has been reported by multiple media outlets.
Asked this week about the audio, a McConnell spokesperson said they would keep reporters updated on the senator’s condition.
CNN has reached out to the DC Fire and EMS Department seeking a recording of the 911 call and the incident report.
