Biden’s former doctor refuses to answer questions in House Republican probe

Jul 9, 2025 | 7:46 AM

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s former White House physician is refusing answer questions as part of the House Republican investigation into Biden’s health in office.

Dr. Kevin O’Connor invoked doctor-client privilege and his rights under the Fifth Amendment during an appearance Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee. That’s according to the doctor’s attorneys.

Republicans are conducting a sweeping investigation into Biden’s actions in office and questioning whether the Democratic president’s use of an autopen may have been invalid. 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.”
