House Republicans are questioning President Biden’s physician, Kevin O’Connor, regarding the president’s health assessments. The House Oversight Committee is investigating O’Connor’s recent assessment stating Biden is fit for duty, especially after Biden’s debated performance raised concerns about his cognitive health. O’Connor has declined media interviews and now faces demands to testify before the committee.
The committee also questions O’Connor’s independence and potential conflicts of interest related to the Biden family. However, the White House has defended Biden’s cognitive abilities and dismissed claims of influence on O’Connor’s assessments. Concerns about O’Connor’s decisions and relationship with the Biden family persist, prompting further scrutiny into his medical advice and practices.
As the investigation unfolds, O’Connor’s credibility and the validity of Biden’s health assessments remain in question, highlighting the complex interplay between politics, healthcare, and public perception in the current administration.
