  • Dr. Kevin O'Connor, President Joe Biden's former White House physician, refused to answer questions during a House Oversight Committee deposition on Wednesday.
  • The refusal occurred amid a Republican investigation into Biden's mental fitness while in office, with Comer alleging a conspiracy to cover up cognitive decline.
  • Chairman James Comer subpoenaed O'Connor last month and intends to continue interviewing Biden aides after O'Connor invoked the Fifth Amendment and doctor-patient privilege.
  • Comer accused Dr. O'Connor of hiding information by refusing to testify, asserting that the public expects openness, while Democrats dismissed the investigation as a costly and overly fixated effort.
  • The investigation may impact the legitimacy of policies signed with Biden's autopen if mental incapacity is proven, and Comer plans legislative solutions to prevent future coverups.
