What's True
U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell experienced an influx of family wealth in 2008 due to an inheritance his wife received.
What's False
McConnell didn't mysteriously increase his net worth by $2.4 million every year over the course of a decade while serving in the Senate.
As Senate Majority Leader, McConnell received an annual salary of $193,400, but the Kentucky Republican reported an influx of family wealth between $5 million and $25 million in 2008, according to his financial disclosures.
That influx was the result of an inheritance his wife received upon the death of her mother, and that information has been part of public discourse since 2014, when it became campaign fodder for McConnell’s Democratic opponent, Allison Lundergan Grimes
and this right here is my favorite part:
