US EditionBiden’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, former White House physician to President Joe Biden, refused to answer questions before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, invoking doctor-patient privilege and the Fifth Amendment.
- This refusal happened amid a Republican-led investigation into Biden's mental fitness and the legitimacy of policies signed using an autopen during his term in office.
- Committee Chairman James Comer has subpoenaed O’Connor as well as multiple former top Biden staff members such as Anthony Bernal, while other individuals like Neera Tanden have appeared to testify on a voluntary basis.
- Comer criticized Dr. O'Connor for opting to withhold information instead of being forthcoming, emphasizing the public’s need for openness, and pledged to continue interviewing Biden administration officials while warning that failure to comply with subpoenas could lead to contempt charges.
- The investigation’s outcome could affect the validity of certain policies and suggests Congress may consider legislative measures to prevent future coverups of presidential health issues.
