Washington – Former President Joe Biden’s White House doctors appeared before the House Overcite Committee on Wednesday for a shutdown testimony and refused to answer questions as the GOP-led panel enhanced its investigation into Biden’s age and health.
The committee Kevin O’Coner has demanded testimony as new reporting has emerged earlier this year about the return of Biden from the race for the 2024 presidential race earlier this year. Meanwhile, President Trump ordered an inquiry last month that “some persons conspired to cheat the public about the mental state of Biden and use the President’s officials and responsibilities unconstitutionally.”
O’Coner’s lawyers, David Shirtler and Mark McDogal said that he refused to answer the questions of MPs on the basis of their rights under doctor’s privilege and fifth amendment.
In a statement by the House Oversite Committee on Wednesday, the lawyers said that “the totality of the circumstances around this committee leaves no alternative to Dr. O’Coner, but to reject the questions to reject the questions,” emphasizing that the fifth modification privilege “does not mean that Dr. O’Coner has committed a crime.”
