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

WASHINGTON, DC, JUL 9 – Dr. Kevin O'Connor declined to testify citing the Fifth Amendment and physician-patient privilege amid an investigation into alleged concealment of President Biden's health, House Oversight said.

  • Dr. Kevin O'Connor, President Joe Biden's former doctor, refused to answer questions during a House Oversight Committee deposition on July 9, 2025, citing doctor-patient privilege and the Fifth Amendment.
  • This refusal occurred amid a GOP-led investigation into Biden's mental acuity while in office, including allegations that the president's use of an autopen for signatures may have been invalid.
  • Committee Chairman James Comer has issued subpoenas for O'Connor and several former Biden aides, with voluntary testimony from former domestic policy adviser Neera Tanden last month enhancing the inquiry.
  • Comer criticized Dr. O'Connor for withholding information, threatened to hold individuals in contempt of Congress if subpoenas are disregarded, and assured that a comprehensive report will be released once the investigation is finished.
  • The probe’s continuation aims to provide transparency on Biden's fitness for office and legislative steps to prevent future cover-ups, while Biden denies any cognitive decline, calling such claims 'ridiculous and false'.
