What Is He Trying to Hide? Biden Doctor Desperately Trying to Stall Key Hearing, Cites Confidentiality

Published

Former President Joe Biden’s White House physician is attempting to delay his testimony before Congress, citing concerns about the scope of lawmakers’ questions, sparking speculation that he is stalling for time.

Dr. Kevin O’Connor, who served as Biden’s physician during his presidential term, asked the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Saturday to “postpone his scheduled testimony over disagreements on the scope of the questions,” The Hill reported.

O’Connor is presently slated to give a deposition on Wednesday, as part of the committee’s investigation into Biden’s mental capacity, as well as his use of an autopen to sign legislation, orders, and pardons.

David Schertler, a lawyer for O’Connor, reportedly sent a letter to Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky — who chairs to committee — asking to postpone the start of the hearing to July 28.

In the letter, Schertler cited doctor-patient confidentiality as the main issue and said Republican lawmakers haven’t established what can — and cannot — be asked.

A committee representative accused O’Connor of trying to “stonewall” Congress, in comments made to NBC News.

Doctor-patient privilege is sacrosanct. Privacy should be expected and protected.

In Biden’s case, however, we’re talking about the leader of the free world. Divulging certain aspects of your life comes with the territory.


Does this give the public a blank check to destroy everyone who runs for office? No. But we’re talking about an octogenarian who has experienced multiple mental lapses in public.

The need to have O’Connor testify is even more pressing, given that Biden revealed his prostate cancer diagnosis after leaving office. Did he know about this cancer while he was president? Was he sick when he ran in 2024? Was he sick when he ran back in 2020? What kind of drugs was he being given?

The public is entitled to answers. A private citizen — or even someone serving in a lesser government post — might have an expectation of privacy in this regard. The commander in chief is a different story.

There was an obvious cover-up of Biden’s mental decline, almost from the beginning. It was perpetrated by Biden’s communication team, policy advisors, his wife Jill, Democratic Party leaders — and very likely — his physician.

Giving a man who appears dazed during public appearances, slurs his words, confuses people and places — and who speaks pure gibberish — a clean bill of health is highly questionable.

All the while, they were naturally aided by left-leaning media outlets. MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough told America that Joe Biden “was as sharp as anybody else I’ve spoken to,” and that he was “best Biden ever” in early 2024.

Or CNN’s Jake Tapper writing his mea culpa book “Original Sin” — and shamelessly marketing it every chance he got —  about the media’s failure to discover that Biden was slipping into senility. Yet he waited until after Biden left office in disgrace to publish it.

Anyone with a pair of eyes could plainly see Biden had problems. Check out his 2024 debate performance against Trump, and then try calling him “mentally fit” with a straight face.

The autopen scandal is another issue that may require Biden’s doctor to answer reasonable questions about his fitness. It could potentially reveal criminal activity by government officials. And if the accusations turn out to be true, we may find out that someone else was steering the ship of state, rendering various orders signed by Biden null and void.

All this entails the revealing of certain health information, because it’s a matter of public interest — and potentially, a matter of national security.

The fact that O’Connor would dodge the committee’s questions before they’re even asked is suspicious.

If he truly feels his duty as a physician prevents him from giving certain details, then he should simply say so — but only after he is put under oath, not weeks before he’s set to testify about one of the most important investigations in our nation’s history.

Trump has waived executive privilege for almost a dozen Biden staffers whom the committee also wants to testify, in an effort to get to the truth, according to the Associated Press.

The final outcome should be very interesting and extremely enlightening, if nothing else.

Dr. Ben Carson is the newest member of the Trump administration.

On Wednesday, former Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Ben Carson, was sworn in as the national adviser for nutrition, health, and housing at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins shared that Carson’s role will be to oversee Trump’s new Big Beautiful Bill law, which aims to ensure Americans’ quality of life, from nutrition to stable housing.

After being sworn in, Carson shared, “Today, too many Americans are suffering from the effects of poor nutrition. Through common-sense policymaking, we have an opportunity to give our most vulnerable families the tools they need to flourish.”

Per USDA:

Today, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced that Dr. Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D., was sworn in as the National Advisor for Nutrition, Health, and Housing at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

“There is no one more qualified than Dr. Carson to advise on policies that improve Americans’ everyday quality of life, from nutrition to healthcare quality to ensuring families have access to safe and stable housing,” said Secretary Rollins.

“With six in ten Americans living with at least one chronic disease, and rural communities facing unique challenges with respect to adequate housing, Dr. Carson’s insight and experience is critical. Dr. Carson will be crucial to implementing the rural health investment provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill and advise on America First polices related to nutrition, health, and housing.

“As the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the first Trump Administration, Dr. Carson worked to expand opportunity and strengthen communities, and we are honored to welcome him to the second Trump Administration to help lead our efforts here at USDA to Make America Healthy Again and ensure rural America continues to prosper.”

“Today, too many Americans are suffering from the effects of poor nutrition. Through common-sense policymaking, we have an opportunity to give our most vulnerable families the tools they need to flourish,” said Dr. Ben Carson. “I am honored to work with Secretary Rollins on these important initiatives to help fulfill President Trump’s vision for a healthier, stronger America.”

On Sunday, Dr. Carson was one of the many speakers at the memorial service of the late TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk.

During the memorial service, Carson highlighted that Kirk was shot at 12:24 p.m. and then continued to share the Bible verse John 12:24, which reads, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”

LEAKED MEMO: Deep State Prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia Claim There Isn’t Enough Evidence to Convict Comey Amid Reports of Imminent Indictment

On Wednesday evening, disgruntled officials in the Eastern District of Virginia leaked contents of a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey.

As reported earlier, former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia in the next few days.

Comey will reportedly be charged for lying to Congress in a 2020 testimony about whether he authorized leaks to the media.

Officials in the Eastern District of Virginia are still fighting to stop Comey from being charged after Trump fired US Attorney Erik Siebert.

President Trump last week fired Erik Siebert as the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia because he refused to bring charges against Letitia James, Comey, Schiff and others.

On Saturday evening, President Trump announced that he had appointed Lindsey Halligan – his personal attorney who defended him against the Mar-a-Lago raid – as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Now, with just days to go before the statute of limitations runs out to charge Comey for lying during a September 30, 2020 testimony, Lindsey Halligan is reportedly gearing up to indict Comey.

Prosecutors reportedly gave newly sworn-in Halligan a memo defending James Comey and explaining why charges should not brought against the fired FBI Director.

Per MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian:

Two sources familiar with the matter tell me prosecutors in the EDVA US attorney‘s office presented newly sworn US attorney Lindsey Halligan with a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey, because there isn’t enough evidence to establish probable cause a crime was committed, let alone enough to convince a jury to convict him.

Justice Department guidelines say a case should not be brought unless prosecutors believe it’s more likely than not that they can win a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.

Nearly 8 in 10 Voters Say the United States is in Political Crisis After the Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Nearly eight in ten voters believe that the United States is in a political crisis in the wake of the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk.

According to a Quinnipiac University national poll of registered voters released on Wednesday, a massive 93 percent of Democrats, 84 percent of independents, and 60 percent of Republicans said the nation is in a political crisis.

“The Kirk assassination lays bare raw, bipartisan concerns about where the country is headed,” Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy said of the poll results.

Quinnipiac reports:

Seventy-one percent of voters think politically motivated violence in the United States today is a very serious problem, 22 percent think it is a somewhat serious problem, 3 percent think it is a not so serious problem, and 1 percent think it is not a problem at all.

This is a jump from Quinnipiac University’s June 26 poll when 54 percent thought politically motivated violence in the United States today was a very serious problem, 37 percent thought it was a somewhat serious problem, 6 percent thought it was a not so serious problem, and 2 percent thought it was not a problem at all.

Nearly 6 in 10 voters (58 percent) think it will not be possible to lower the temperature on political rhetoric and speech in the United States, while 34 percent think it will be possible.

Over half, 54 percent, of voters believe the US will see increased political violence over the next few years. Another 27 percent said they think it will stay “about the same,” while just 14 percent believe it will ease.

A 53 percent majority also said they are “pessimistic about freedom of speech being protected in the United States.”

Surprisingly, a 53 percent majority also believes the current system of democracy is not working.

“From a perceived assault on freedom of speech to the fragility of the democracy, a shudder of concern and pessimism rattles a broad swath of the electorate. Nearly 80 percent of registered voters feel they are witnessing a political crisis, seven in ten say political violence is a very serious problem, and a majority say this discord won’t go away anytime soon,” Malloy added.

The vast majority, 82 percent, said the way that people discuss politics is contributing to the violence.

“When asked if political discourse is contributing to violence, a rare meeting of the minds…Republicans, Democrats, and independents in equal numbers say yes, it is,” Malloy said.

The survey was conducted from September 18 to 21 among 1,276 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percentage points.
