Scott Jennings Says He Only Talked About Current Events with Mitch McConnell and Can’t Comment on Health

EXCERPT:

JENNINGS: "Well, I did talk to him today, and I‘m not his physician or, you know, in his immediate family, so we didn‘t have any conversations about his medical records. All I can tell you is that I did talk to him on the phone for several minutes. He was pretty chatty about world affairs. He'd clearly been tracking the news on Iran, on the NATO meetings and what was going on, possibly, with peace talks with Ukraine and Russia. Talked a little bit about teddy Roosevelt library, which I visited last week. It‘s pretty common for him to chat with me. I mean, I‘ve known him for over 30 years and — "
COATES: "He just called you out of the blue?"
JENNINGS: "Yeah. I mean, I‘ve known him since I was a teenager, and I worked on most of his campaigns since I was 18 years old. And, you know, we have an ongoing dialogue about politics and public affairs. So from that perspective, the topics that we discussed today were pretty much in the vein of what we would normally chat about. So, look, I can‘t speak to any timelines or whether he plans to come back to work or — I‘m not — maybe he doesn‘t know. I can just tell you that I saw some people postulating that he was deceased or, you know, not capable of having a conversation, and that certainly wasn‘t my experience today."
