American citizens have a right to know who was running the country when Joe Biden was president. This is important.
"Biden doctor Kevin O’Connor invokes Fifth Amendment when asked if he lied about ex-prez’s health
WASHINGTON — Joe Biden’s former doctor refused to answer a single question Wednesday about the ex-president’s health and cognitive decline — stunningly invoking his right against self-incrimination before slinking out of a congressional deposition.
Dr. Kevin O’Connor is facing claims that he shielded the public from Biden’s decline while the 46th president was in office — and even covered up his powerful patient’s advanced-stage prostate cancer.
“Dr. O’Connor pleaded the Fifth Amendment,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) revealed after the doctor’s swift departure.
According to Comer, O’Connor, Biden’s longtime personal physician, was asked two key questions:
“Were you ever told to lie about the president’s health?”
“Did you ever believe President Biden was unfit to execute his duties?”
In both instances, O’Connor took the Fifth.
“This is unprecedented, and I think that this adds more fuel to the fire that there was a cover-up,” Comer declared.
In a subsequent statement, the Kentucky Republican added it was “clear there was a conspiracy to cover up” the 46th president’s declining mental acuity.
“Congress must assess legislative solutions to prevent such a cover-up from happening again,” he added. “We will continue to interview more Biden White House aides to get the answers Americans deserve.”
In an unusual move, the committee posted footage of O’Connor’s aborted closed-door interview on X, tweeting: “What are they hiding?”
The only question O’Connor did answer before the deposition concluded was confirming his name, according to an Oversight spokesperson, who pointed out that doctor-patient privilege would have allowed the witness to answer at least some questions.
Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman, who served as physician to the president during Barack Obama’s first term, agreed with that interpretation.
“In my opinion, [the first question] doesn’t involve HIPAA,” Kuhlman told The Post.
As for the second question, Kuhlman advised, “I don’t think that’s covered by HIPAA,” because it “doesn’t sound like that’s specific health information that they’re seeking.”
When asked whether he would answer questions under oath that don’t directly relate to a patient’s health, Kuhlman said: “In my role as a physician caring for a patient, I probably would.”
Kuhlman, who published the book “Transforming Presidential Healthcare,” in November 2024, has repeatedly called for Biden and other elderly politicians to be subjected to annual mental fitness tests.
“Dr. O’Connor pleading the Fifth all but confirms he was a key player in the biggest coverup in presidential history and knew Joe Biden wasn’t fit to serve, and now he’s grasping for anything to protect himself,” added Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), a doctor who also served in the Obama White House’s Medical Unit.
“Experts agree that the Oversight Committee’s questions wouldn’t have violated doctor-patient confidentiality, which means O’Connor isn’t shielding Biden’s privacy—he’s most likely shielding his own criminal behavior.”
Former Biden White House officials weren’t surprised at O’Connor’s move, with one telling The Post the doctor is “incredibly loyal and I never expected him to say anything.”
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), who was present for the deposition, claimed “as someone who has served as a criminal defense attorney” that there was nothing scandalous about O’Connor’s Irish exit.
“I think that he did what any good lawyer would advise him to do, and it seems like he had two good lawyers in the room today,” Crockett said, arguing that O’Connor could have lost his medical license for disclosing patient records — even those of a former president.
The outspoken Texas Democrat also defended Biden’s record, saying “he completely understood what was going on” and “may get fumbled up by words, but that’s not anything new and it’s not anything that came with age.”
