Comer questioning if O'Connor's assessments of the president have been improperly influenced by work with Biden family on Americore

FIRST ON FOX – House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is demanding that the White House physician appear before Congress to answer questions on President Biden’s "declining mental state," while also revealing that the doctor has been involved in the Biden family’s business dealings.

Fox News Digital obtained the letter Comer, R-Ky., sent to Dr. Kevin O’Connor on Sunday. Comer is seeking to question O’Connor, given his "connections" with the Biden family, on whether he is "in a position to provide accurate and independent reviews of the President’s fitness to serve."

Surprise, surprise, White House doctors are political. I'm sure it is not just the current one, Jackson was, and I bet a review would find this is true throughout history. Maybe Wilson's doctor? Reagan's? Is this in itself news?

The issue is whether they are honest and transparent. Do they owe anything to the public or bound by patient privacy? Did Wilson's doctor admit he was indisposed? Or that Reagan had Alzheimer in last year(s), or that Biden has dementia or Parkenson or something?

I'm not advocating secrecy, but I'm not sure if we are focusing on the right people for public disclosure.

I’m not sure conflict of interest is relevant way to frame this. They are the patient’s doctor, not the public’s doctor. I think the conflict of interest is when they later go out and disclosed private information and conclusions (like Jackson, tacky). It is like Bongino, former Secret Service, that then goes out and spills the beans. I’d have more respect for both had they done it while in their roles, not profiting from it later.

“he was involved with Americore Health, LLC, along with the president’s brother, James Biden.”

And THAT is why DeSantis should sic the FL AG on the Bidens. Let them get a taste of lawfare and see how they like it.

I now understand Dementia Joe’s comment, I beat Medicare. Medicore, LLC is accused of Medicare fraud. And that’s how he beat it.

REFERENCE: James Biden associate Keaton Langston pleads guilty to $51M Medicare fraud

By Social Links forSteven Nelson, nypost.com, May 27, 2024

WASHINGTON — A former business associate of James Biden has agreed to plead guilty to conspiring to defraud Medicare of $51 million through a lab-testing company linked to the first brother. Keaton Langston, 39, admitted to using pharmacies, durable medical equipment companies and a laboratory in which he had a financial interest to bill for unnecessary tests and orders, the Justice Department disclosed last week in court filings.

James Biden, 75, has not been accused of criminal wrongdoing and has sought to distance himself from Langston, whose father Joey Langston also was associated with the first brother. Keaton Langston, a former business associate of James Biden, pleaded guilty to conspiring to defraud Medicare of $51 million.

Keaton Langston founded Fountain Health, a lab company, in May 2017 and offered its services to rural hospital operator Americore Health, which later went bankrupt. Records show James Biden was involved with Fountain Health in 2017 before connecting with Americore, which provided him in $600,000 in loans in 2018 as he allegedly vowed to use his political connections to secure foreign investors. James passed $200,000 of the funds to Joe Biden in an alleged loan repayment.

Shortly after the lab firm launched, Joey Langston emailed James Biden and his son Keaton and three others on July 12, 2017, about an upcoming “meeting for Fountain Health partners,” Politico reported in February. “Jim will report to the group the results of his discussions earlier today with a contact at [Blue Cross Blue Shield],” the elder Langston wrote. “There will also be discussion about how to proceed with the Union contacts that have been made by Jim and Keaton, within the last two weeks.”

Paul Fishman, an attorney for James Biden, did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but previously said his client “conducted himself ethically and honorably in all his business dealings.” Keaton’s father Joey Langston was also associated with James Biden.

Keaton Langston agreed in September to repay Americore $240,000 in a civil settlement. James Biden agreed in 2022 to repay Americore $350,000. The Bidens and the Langstons have been linked financially for years. The elder Langston hosted fundraisers for Joe Biden when he was a senator, ProPublica reported. Joey Langston also loaned James Biden $800,000, with most of the installments coming toward the end of the Obama-Biden administration in 2016, and ended up only being repaid $400,000 of the amount, he told House impeachment investigators in February.


James Biden listed his job as ‘brother’ of Joe in ‘flawless’ presentation for Qatar: emails


The wealthy Mississippi lawyer pleaded guilty in 2008 and was sentenced to three years in federal prison for being part of a plot to bribe a judge in an asbestos legal fees dispute. He was seeking to overturn his conviction when he made loans to the then-vice president’s brother. Joey Langston’s alleged co-conspirator in the bribes case, attorney Dickie Scruggs, was involved in a second prosecution for attempting to bribe a different judge. James Biden was wiretapped by the FBI in 2007 as part of its investigation of the second bribery case, the Washington Post reported in December. James was in talks at the time with Scruggs and conspirator Tim Balducci about setting up a law firm that would have employed himself, his nephew Hunter Biden and James’ wife Sara.

Then-Sen. Biden went from an opponent of federal legislation to sanction tobacco companies for lying about the addictiveness of cigarettes to a supporter after Scruggs — who planned a multibillion-dollar lawsuit — paid James Biden’s lobbying firm $100,000 in 1998, the Washington Post reported. “I probably wouldn’t have hired him if he wasn’t the senator’s brother,” Scruggs told the paper. Scruggs also flew Joe Biden to a fundraiser on his private plane, the Washington Post reported.

Joe Biden has consistently claimed he “never” discussed business with his son or brother and said in December and again in March that he “did not” interact with their partners, including foreign associates in countries where he held sway as vice president. Evidence including photos, emails and witness statements indicate that Biden actually interacted with his son and brother’s associates from two Chinese government-linked business ventures and their patrons from Kazakhstan, Mexico, Russia and Ukraine.

James Biden was a partner with first son Hunter in many ventures and allegedly wasn’t always coy about the angle he was pushing to investors. “We’ve got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden,” James allegedly said in the early 2000s as he and Hunter were in the process of acquiring investment bank Paradigm, according to a 2021 book by Politico reporter Ben Schreckinger.

Maybe FL Senator Rick Scott could advise them on how to negotiate a settlement. Oh wait, Rick Scott’s company paid the largest settlement in history for Medicare fraud.

Wow if only Hollywood had the stones to make a 4 hour documentary on the Biden crime family the move would be a sell out.

Standing room only signs on the ready
