The House Oversight Committee has officially subpoenaed Dr. Kevin O'Connor, former President Joe Biden's physician, compelling him to testify in an investigation concerning allegations of a cover-up regarding Biden's mental decline. Chairman James Comer (R-KY) stated that this investigation aims to uncover whether there was any effort to conceal Biden's fitness to serve from the public, amidst ongoing scrutiny of his cognitive health and his decision-making authority during his presidency, as reported by Newsweek and CBS News.
The subpoena mandates O'Connor to participate in a closed-door deposition set for June 27, 2025. In a letter to O'Connor, Comer expressed doubts about the physician's evaluations and potential biases due to his connections with the Biden family, emphasizing that O'Connor's testimony is critical to understanding the situation. Additionally, Comer noted that the investigation extends to questioning former White House aides about Biden's mental and physical faculties, according to AA and CBS News.
Former President Trump has also initiated an investigation into whether Biden's aides used an autopen to sign official documents, suggesting that such actions could be construed as an attempt to obscure Biden's cognitive decline. The White House has yet to publicly comment on the subpoena or the investigation, while Biden has firmly rebuffed the claims regarding his decision-making authority during his presidency, calling the allegations "ridiculous and false," as outlined in Newsweek and AA.
