Former Biden Physician Pleads Fifth Amid Cognitive Decline Probe

Dr. Kevin O’Connor, former President Joe Biden’s personal physician, invoked the Fifth Amendment 14 times during a congressional hearing, fueling allegations of a cover-up regarding Biden’s cognitive decline. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Rep. Ronny Jackson suggested O’Connor’s refusal to answer questions implied collusion to conceal the president’s mental and physical health issues. Meanwhile, a new book titled "2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America" revealed that Hunter Biden made an unauthorized appearance on a critical White House call discussing the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity, which made some staffers, including White House Counsel Ed Siskel, uncomfortable due to the appearance of impropriety. The book also disclosed Biden’s heavy reliance on a teleprompter during public events, which frustrated donors expecting more spontaneous speeches. Hunter Biden’s involvement in the call was described as inappropriate by Biden’s top aides, with Hunter pushing for an Oval Office address that was ultimately relocated to the Cross Hall. These revelations highlight ongoing controversies within Biden’s inner circle during his presidency.
