Biden doctor Kevin O’Connor pleads Fifth rather than answer questions about ex-prez’s health

WASHINGTON — Ex-White House Dr. Kevin O’Connor pleaded the Fifth Amendment and ducked out of his high-profile congressional deposition Wednesday over the purported shielding of President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.

Biden’s longtime personal physician exited the House Oversight Committee grilling just an hour after it started, with O’Connor’s attorney David Schertler telling reporters, “No comments to press.”

“Dr. O’Connor pleaded the Fifth Amendment,” Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) later revealed. “I’m gonna read the first two questions that were asked.”

“‘Were you ever told to lie about the president’s health?’ He pleaded the Fifth Amendment,” the chairman said. “‘Did you ever believe President Biden was unfit to execute his duties?'”

“I think that this adds more fuel to the fire that there was a cover-up,” he declared.

The Trump White House had declined Tuesday to invoke executive privilege over any of the former White House doctor’s testimony.

“There’s more and more evidence that comes out every day that would suggest that the president was in a pretty severe mental decline, so we’re going to ask about that,” Comer had said before the deposition.

The liberal ‘press’ knows who butters their bread - they’ll give O’Connor a big fat pass. Maybe even thrown in how ‘important the 5th’ is... Whatever the meaning of is is...dems all get a pass.

This guy should lose his license. He will get a good retirement package from a NGO.

No one talks; everyone walks.

The Clintons showed us how effective this strategy is to protect party elites.
