https://www.rawstory.com/tom-kean-2676893539/#But whats concerning the GOP leadership is that the 57-year-old Kean and his team arent giving them any more information privately. Speaker Mike Johnson
and Kean have spoken once. But the entire GOP leadership is in the dark about the reasons for Keans 70-day absence from Congress."
Kean's office last month claimed he would be returning to work very soon, but there have been no updates since. Notably, a report last month found that stock trades are still being made on Kean's behalf, even as he remains absent.
Many lawmakers are now fearful that even if Kean does return to work, he won't be in any shape to campaign for his swing district in the fall, jeopardizing the seat at a moment when Republicans are severe underdogs to retain control of the House

Just a guess... as his staff has responded numerous times there's a 'minor medical issue,' however getting an ass-mole removed doesn't really require a long hospital stay and weeks of post-op therapy. So for now, I'll go with 'his wife caught him with a 16 year old female and the story will be out mid-week next.'
