Biden’s former doctor refuses to answer questions in House Republican probe

WASHINGTON, D.C., JUL 9 – Dr. Kevin O'Connor declined to answer questions citing Fifth Amendment and doctor-patient privilege during a GOP probe into claims of a cover-up about Biden’s cognitive health.

  • Dr. Kevin O'Connor, President Joe Biden's former White House physician, exercised his Fifth Amendment rights and refused to respond to inquiries during a House Oversight Committee deposition on Wednesday.
  • This refusal occurred amid a sweeping Republican investigation into Biden's mental fitness and whether policies signed with his autopen signature may be invalid.
  • O'Connor invoked doctor-patient privilege and his Fifth Amendment right, prompting Committee Chairman James Comer to allege a conspiracy to conceal Biden's cognitive decline.
  • Comer criticized Dr. O'Connor for refusing to testify, suggesting that his silence obstructs transparency, and warned that failure to comply with subpoenas could lead to contempt of Congress charges.
  • The committee plans to continue its probe by interviewing more White House aides and will publish a full report once the investigation is complete.
