REVEALED: House GOP demands Biden's doctor answer for Biden's health, his involvement with family business schemes

On Sunday, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chair of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, called on President Biden's physician, Dr. Kevin O'Conner, to testify before the committee regarding his medical assessments of Biden and his alleged private endeavors with the Biden family's business schemes.

This comes following an explosive report released on Saturday that revealed a Parkinson's specialist had visited the White House to meet with Biden's main physician several times, according to White House visitor logs. Congressman Comer contended in the letter to O'Conner that the committee is concerned that the physician's medical assessment of Biden could have been influenced by his private business endeavors with the Biden family.

"After a concerning debate performance by President Biden against former President Donald Trump on June 27, journalists have rushed to report on what Americans have seen plainly for years: the President appears unwell. Americans question President Biden's ability to lead the country, and the Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating circumstances surrounding your assessment in February of this year that 'President Biden is a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old-male, who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency,'" wrote Comer.

"Recently, it was reported that you have 'never recommended that Biden take a cognitive test.' The Oversight Committee is concerned your medical assessments have been influenced by your private business endeavors with the Biden family," Rep. Comer contended.

Congressman Comer noted that during a recent press briefing, the White House Press Secretary told reporters that she spoke with Dr. O'Conner who said that President Biden had not been evaluated since February. However, on a phone call with Democratic governors on the same day, Biden told them that he was checked by a doctor and "that everything was fine."

"Prior to his current position," Comer continued in a statement, "Dr. O'Conner was involved with the Biden family's influence-peddling schemes."

"Recent evidence obtained by the Committee shows Dr. O'Connor's and James Biden's involvement with Americore Health, LLC, a company that operated rural hospitals and is currently involved in bankruptcy proceedings. James Biden, the President's brother, used funds from Americore to pay Joe Biden $200,000 as the company was facing financial distress. James Biden received payments for $400,000 and $200,000 characterized as loans, from the company that was wired directly to his bank account," said Comer. "During his transcribed interview, James Biden confirmed Dr. O'Connor provided him counsel in connection with the alleged work he was performing for Americore."

"You have repeatedly refused most interview requests from the media," Comer continued in the letter to Dr. O'Conner, "and the Committee now turns to you to provide answers regarding your independence because of the mixed and confused messaging coming from the White House regarding the President's ability to perform his job."

"The statement by the White House Press Secretary and President Biden appear inconsistent, and the Committee seeks to understand the extent of your role at the White House at this time. Given your connections with the Biden family, the Committee also seeks to understand if you are in a position to provide accurate and independent reviews of the President's fitness to serve," wrote Comer.
