US EditionBiden’s former doctor requests postponement of his testimony to the House Oversight Committee
- Dr. Kevin O'Connor, who served as President Biden’s physician, has sought to postpone his upcoming appearance before the House Oversight Committee until late July or early August to safeguard confidentiality and privilege concerns.
- This request followed a subpoena issued by Representative James Comer in June, amid a broader House Republican inquiry into Biden's mental fitness and age.
- O'Connor's attorney argued the committee's demand threatened doctor-patient confidentiality and called the approach unprecedented, while the committee insisted privilege claims can be addressed during testimony.
- The letter from O'Connor's lawyer seeking the delay stated it aimed to protect substantial privilege and confidentiality interests, while attorney David Schertler warned O'Connor could face losing his medical license for violating ethical obligations.
- The committee declined the request for a postponement and intends to move forward with the testimony following the established protocols, with Comer assuring that the committee’s conclusions will be publicly released once the investigation is complete.
