Biden Doctor’s Testimony Dispute Intensifies

News summary

Dr. Kevin O’Connor, President Biden’s longtime physician, has requested to postpone his testimony before the House Oversight Committee, which is investigating allegations of a cover-up related to Biden’s cognitive health and the use of the presidential autopen. O’Connor’s attorney argues that testifying would breach doctor-patient confidentiality and set a dangerous precedent, warning of potential professional consequences. The committee, led by Rep. James Comer, rejected the delay, stating O’Connor must appear as scheduled and can assert privilege per question. The White House has waived executive privilege for O’Connor’s testimony, marking an unusual step in the proceedings. The dispute underscores ongoing partisan conflict regarding the investigation’s legitimacy and raises questions about the limits of medical privacy in congressional probes. O’Connor’s testimony has become central to assessing Biden’s fitness for office and the conduct of his aides.
