From Fox News: Former White House physician Kevin O’Connor’s closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee ended after less than an hour on Wednesday morning, with the doctor giving investigators virtually no new insights.
O’Connor pleaded the Fifth Amendment to multiple questions about his time with former President Joe Biden during his sit-down. It resulted in a hasty end to what could have been an hours-long deposition.
“I’m going to read the first two questions that were asked. ‘Were you ever told to lie about the president’s health?’ He pleaded the Fifth Amendment. He would not answer that question. The second question, ‘Did you ever believe President Biden was unfit to execute his duty?'” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., told reporters after the meeting.
“Again, President Biden’s White House physician pled the fifth. This is unprecedented, and I think that this adds more fuel to the fire that there was a cover-up.”
In a post on X, Comer announced:
President Joe Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, just plead the fifth at his deposition before Congress today.
It’s now clear there was a conspiracy to cover up President Biden’s cognitive decline after Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s physician and family business associate, refused to answer any questions and chose to hide behind the fifth amendment. The American people demand transparency but Dr. O’Connor would rather conceal the truth.
Dr. O’Connor took the fifth when asked if he was told to lie about President Biden’s health and whether he was fit to be President of the United States. Congress must assess legislative solutions to prevent such a coverup from happening again. We will continue to interview more Biden White House aides to get the answers Americans deserve.

On Tuesday, Comer had announced, “The Biden White House previously blocked President Biden’s doctor from testifying before @GOPoversight, part of an effort to conceal Joe Biden’s declining health. I subpoenaed Dr. Kevin O’Connor & he will appear tomorrow. Americans deserve answers.”

The White House even waived O’Connor’s executive privilege, but the doctor still clammed up and refused to talk.
