Biden Physician Pleads Fifth in House Oversight Probe

News summary

Kevin O'Connor, President Joe Biden's physician, invoked the Fifth Amendment and doctor-patient privilege during a closed-door House Oversight Committee deposition, refusing to answer questions about Biden's mental fitness and health. This refusal has fueled allegations from House Oversight Chair James Comer and other Republicans of a conspiracy to cover up Biden's cognitive decline during his presidency. Comer criticized O'Connor's silence as obstructive and suggested the need for legislative measures to prevent similar cover-ups in the future. Republicans are investigating the legitimacy of executive actions signed via autopen, which could be called into question if Biden were found mentally incapacitated at any point. Biden has denied all claims regarding cognitive decline, calling them false and ridiculous. The Oversight Committee plans to continue its probe by interviewing additional White House aides to seek further clarity.
