EMS audio reveals cardiac arrest response at Mitch McConnell's home on day of hospitalization.
An EMS dispatch recording from June 14 indicates emergency responders were called to Senator Mitch McConnell's Washington, D.C. home for an 'unconscious' person experiencing 'cardiac arrest' with 'CPR in progress.' McConnell was hospitalized the same day; his office has not disclosed the reason for admission. The 84-year-old senator's name is not mentioned in the audio, and outlets have not confirmed the identity of the patient.
