INDICT THE QUACK: Biden Doctor Pleads the 5th

How senile was Joe Biden in his last years in office? Enquiring minds want to know, but Biden’s physician refuses to testify about the issue. Fox News: Dr. Kevin O’Connor invoked his rights under the Fifth Amendment during a closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee, his attorney and lawmakers said. Republicans on the Oversight Committee subpoenaed O’Connor last month as part of a their sweeping investigation into Biden’s health and his mental fitness as president. They claim some policies carried out during Biden’s term through the use of the White House autopen may be illegitimate if it’s proven the Democrat was mentally incapacitated for some of his term. Biden has strongly denied that he was not in a right state of mind at any point while in office, calling the claims “ridiculous and false.” (Associated Press).

What a slimey, corrupt regime we suffered.

Jeff Charles of Townhall: Even with O’Connor’s invocation of the Fifth Amendment, it is likely that Congress might just find what they are looking for even without his help. It was abundantly clear that Biden’s mental acuity was lacking all throughout his presidency. There have already been indications that he was not up to the job and that several executive orders were signed with the autopen without his knowledge. With Republicans in charge of the White House and the legislature, there won’t be enough roadblocks preventing them from ascertaining what was going on in the White House over the past four years. At some point, America will find out the truth — and it will probably be uglier than we think. (Jeff Charles at Townhall).

Biden doctor Kevin O’Connor invokes Fifth Amendment when asked if he lied about ex-prez’s health

By Josh Christenson and Kendall White, NY Post, July 9, 2025:

WASHINGTON — Joe Biden’s former doctor refused to answer a single question Wednesday about the ex-president’s health and cognitive decline — stunningly invoking his right against self-incrimination before slinking out of a congressional deposition.

Dr. Kevin O’Connor is facing claims that he shielded the public from Biden’s decline while the 46th president was in office — and even covered up his powerful patient’s advanced-stage prostate cancer.

“Dr. O’Connor pleaded the Fifth Amendment,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) revealed after the doctor’s swift departure.

According to Comer, O’Connor, Biden’s longtime personal physician, was asked two key questions:

“Were you ever told to lie about the president’s health?”
“Did you ever believe President Biden was unfit to execute his duties?”

In both instances, O’Connor took the Fifth.

“This is unprecedented, and I think that this adds more fuel to the fire that there was a cover-up,” Comer declared.

In a subsequent statement, the Kentucky Republican added it was “clear there was a conspiracy to cover up” the 46th president’s declining mental acuity.

“Congress must assess legislative solutions to prevent such a cover-up from happening again,” he added. “We will continue to interview more Biden White House aides to get the answers Americans deserve.”

In an unusual move, the committee posted footage of O’Connor’s aborted closed-door interview on X, tweeting: “What are they hiding?”

The only question O’Connor did answer before the deposition concluded was confirming his name, according to an Oversight spokesperson, who pointed out that doctor-patient privilege would have allowed the witness to answer at least some questions.

Dr. Jeffrey Kuhlman, who served as physician to the president during Barack Obama’s first term, agreed with that interpretation.

“In my opinion, [the first question] doesn’t involve HIPAA,” Kuhlman told The Post.

As for the second question, Kuhlman advised, “I don’t think that’s covered by HIPAA,” because it “doesn’t sound like that’s specific health information that they’re seeking.”

When asked whether he would answer questions under oath that don’t directly relate to a patient’s health, Kuhlman said: “In my role as a physician caring for a patient, I probably would.”

Kuhlman, who published the book “Transforming Presidential Healthcare,” in November 2024, has repeatedly called for Biden and other elderly politicians to be subjected to annual mental fitness tests.\

“Dr. O’Connor pleading the Fifth all but confirms he was a key player in the biggest coverup in presidential history and knew Joe Biden wasn’t fit to serve, and now he’s grasping for anything to protect himself,” added Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), a doctor who also served in the Obama White House’s Medical Unit.

“Experts agree that the Oversight Committee’s questions wouldn’t have violated doctor-patient confidentiality, which means O’Connor isn’t shielding Biden’s privacy—he’s most likely shielding his own criminal behavior.”

Former Biden White House officials weren’t surprised at O’Connor’s move, with one telling The Post the doctor is “incredibly loyal and I never expected him to say anything.”

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), who was present for the deposition, claimed “as someone who has served as a criminal defense attorney” that there was nothing scandalous about O’Connor’s Irish exit.

“I think that he did what any good lawyer would advise him to do, and it seems like he had two good lawyers in the room today,” Crockett said, arguing that O’Connor could have lost his medical license for disclosing patient records — even those of a former president.

The outspoken Texas Democrat also defended Biden’s record, saying “he completely understood what was going on” and “may get fumbled up by words, but that’s not anything new and it’s not anything that came with age.”

“There is nothing about Joe Biden and his stutter or him being older that caused any issues as it relates to potentially harming the American people,” Crockett declared.

“The reality is that the country wasn’t off the rails when Joe Biden was sitting in the White House,” she added of the chief executive who 83% of Americans had said was leading the country off the rails halfway through his term — and who left office with a record-low approval rating.
