We are learning more this week as Sen. Mitch McConnell says that a fall led to his ongoing hospitalization. The statement released Sunday marks his first public explanation of his condition after weeks of speculation surrounding his health. McConnell, 84, said in a statement that he has undergone a battery of tests as doctors try to determine what led to his fall.
