In a highly suspicious act indicating a cover-up, Kevin O’Connor, former White House physician to Joe Biden, has invoked both the Fifth Amendment and physician-patient confidentiality to sidestep questions about the president’s alleged mental decline.

The House Oversight Committee’s investigation focuses on whether the Biden administration has concealed critical health information.
O’Connor’s refusal has intensified calls for transparency and accountability.
O’Connor’s closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee ended abruptly for one reason: invoking the Fifth Amendment multiple times.
This legal maneuver, intended to protect against self-incrimination, isn’t an admission of guilt if you ask O’Connor’s lawyers.
They argue this plea was necessary due to the investigatory scope potentially infringing on physician-patient privilege.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer expressed frustration over O’Connor’s silence, hinting at its implications.
Comer questioned the physician during the deposition, asking if he had ever been instructed to lie about the president’s health.
O’Connor’s constant insistence on invoking the Fifth has deepened suspicions of a cover-up.
Republicans urge the investigation to continue, scrutinizing the former president’s aides for alleged complicity in misinformation about Biden’s mental state.
Previous interviews with White House staffers, like Neera Tanden, laid the groundwork, while more witnesses remain on the docket.
Comer remains committed to transparency throughout this inquiry.
“Most people invoke the fifth when they have criminal liability. And so that’s what would appear on the surface here. We’re going to continue to move forward. Obviously, I think his actions today speak loud and clear,” the lawmaker stated.
O’Connor’s tenure as Biden’s physician included declarations of the president’s robust health.
Even as recently as February 2024, he deemed Biden fit for presidential duties, though notably absent was a cognitive test.
The physician’s consistent assurances clash with allegations of mental and physical decline that purportedly marred Biden’s presidency.
President Biden has adamantly denied the accusations of failing cognitive health, calling them “ridiculous and false.”
However, the GOP counters by questioning the legitimacy of policy decisions made during any periods of alleged incapacitation.
While O’Connor’s legal representatives plead physician-patient privilege, the committee sees his Fifth Amendment use as an indication something is amiss.
For an investigation spearheaded by House Republicans, led by Comer, the stakes are high, and the determination unwavering, to uncover the truth behind Joe Biden’s health narrative.
“Earlier today, Dr. Kevin O’Connor asserted the physician-patient privilege, as well as his right under the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, in declining to answer questions from the staff of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform regarding his service as Physician to the President during the Biden Administration,” O’Connor’s lawyers declared.
The investigation remains far from over, with the potential to impact Biden’s political legacy deeply.
