TL;DR

Elaine Chao returned to the U.S. from China after Mitch McConnell was hospitalized on June 14; a spokesperson says her long-planned trip to support philanthropic work was not motivated by McConnell’s health, though it fueled online conspiracy theories, and a Chinese embassy photo circulated. It’s unclear if she has been in contact with McConnell since returning, and she had left for China on June 12, two days before his hospitalization.
