US EditionWhite House Allows Testimony from Biden's Doctor Kevin O'Connor in Oversight Investigation
WASHINGTON D.C., JUL 8 – The waiver allows testimony on Biden's health and use of an autopen, with the Trump administration citing exceptional circumstances in a probe led by the House Oversight Committee.
- The doctor who previously served as the White House physician for President Biden appeared before the House Oversight Committee this week but chose not to respond to lawmakers' questions.
- This refusal followed a June subpoena amid a Republican investigation into Biden's mental fitness and use of an autopen during his term.
- O'Connor invoked physician-patient privilege and his Fifth Amendment rights, while his lawyer requested postponement of testimony to allow confidentiality accommodations.
- A letter from the President’s legal advisor explained that the unusual circumstances warranted special considerations, and President Trump chose not to assert executive privilege regarding the testimony.
- The committee plans to release its report after the investigation, which may affect assessments of Biden's fitness and the validity of some executive actions.
