Published
Rep. Tom Kean Jr. has finally explained his mysterious 116-day absence from Congress … after vanishing from public life for months.
On Tuesday, Kean took the floor to address why he was MIA … explaining he has been dealing with severe depression. The Congressman explained he took time off due to order by his doctor.
Kean all but vanished from Washington back in early March … missing more than 100 House votes while his office offered only vague updates about a “personal health issue.”
The lack of answers sparked mounting concern from constituents, political insiders and even members of his own party.

Kean was greeted by a throng of reporters Tuesday upon his return to Capitol Hill … but he didn’t respond to questions on his way to the House floor … holding his silence before his big speech.
Last week, Kean was spotted outside his New Jersey home for the first time in months … telling reporters he planned to return to Congress and promising he’d be “fully transparent” about what happened once he was back in D.C.
