Biden Doctor Pleads Fifth in House Probe

Dr. Kevin O’Connor, former President Joe Biden’s physician, invoked his Fifth Amendment right during a closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee, refusing to answer questions about Biden's cognitive health and possible directives to misrepresent it. Committee Chairman James Comer argued that O’Connor’s refusal adds to suspicions of a cover-up regarding Biden’s alleged mental decline. The White House waived executive privilege for O’Connor’s testimony, allowing the committee to proceed with its probe. O’Connor’s silence has intensified scrutiny of Biden’s health and the transparency of his medical records. Critics claim the Fifth Amendment plea indicates a lack of transparency, while some Democrats warn it is not proof of wrongdoing. The investigation is ongoing, with additional interviews planned.
