Dr. Kevin O’Connor’s Repeated Appearances Before Congress
Dr. Kevin O’Connor, who has been a physician to former President Joe Biden, has made his fifth appearance in front of the House Oversight Committee. This marks another chapter in an ongoing saga.
O’Connor has a longstanding relationship with Biden, reportedly linked to family business dealings. He recently declined to answer questions posed by lawmakers during a committee session, as stated by Chairman James Comer.
Comer claimed that O’Connor’s response—or lack thereof—suggests a possible conspiracy to conceal President Biden’s cognitive decline. The committee chairman noted that O’Connor chose to invoke the Fifth Amendment rather than respond to inquiries about his role and Biden’s health.
“There’s a demand for transparency from the American public, yet Dr. O’Connor seems more inclined to keep the truth hidden,” Comer remarked. He pointed out that O’Connor refused to clarify whether he had been instructed to mislead regarding Biden’s health and qualifications for office.
Comer also emphasized the need for Congress to explore legislative measures to avoid such cover-ups in the future and indicated intentions to continue questioning other White House staff.
O’Connor has reportedly requested a postponement of his testimony, citing disagreements over the types of questions the GOP-led panel could ask. Previously, he was subpoenaed for an interview scheduled for June 25.
Moreover, accusations from Texas Republican Rep. Ronnie Jackson surfaced in June, alleging sexual misconduct involving O’Connor, intensifying scrutiny on the medical practitioners closely associated with Biden.
In another troubling development, O’Connor was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer shortly after Biden’s presidency, raising concerns about potential oversights in his medical care.
The Oversight Committee plans to conduct additional interviews with key figures connected to the Biden administration in late July and early August—a continuation of their inquiries into these pressing issues.
