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, 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.
