Elaine Chao, wife of Mitch McConnell, issues statement after US return [View all]
(USA Today) Former U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao returned to the United States from China this week after her husband, Sen. Mitch McConnell, was hospitalized on June 14.
Chao's travel during McConnell's hospitalization fueled unfounded conspiracy theories online.
"The secretary was on a long-planned trip in China to support her family's philanthropic endeavors," a spokesperson for Chao said in a statement to The Courier Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network. "During the trip, she met with a number of people, including the U.S. ambassador. The senator's health did not warrant an immediate return to the U.S."
