President Donald Trump’s White House just dropped a bombshell, waiving executive privilege for Joe Biden’s former physician, Kevin O’Connor, in a congressional probe that smells like a cover-up, as Fox News reports.
The House Oversight Committee, led by bulldog James Comer, is digging into claims that Biden’s top aides hid his mental and physical decline while he clung to power. O’Connor, a close Biden ally, is now in the hot seat. This investigation could expose a scandal that makes Watergate look like a parking ticket.
Comer’s committee has been relentless, subpoenaing O’Connor last week after he dodged a voluntary interview. His lawyers tried to stall, whining about the probe’s “unprecedented” scope. Sounds like someone’s sweating under the collar.
O’Connor’s legal team begged for a delay over the weekend, claiming the subpoena tramples physician-patient confidentiality. “Congressional Committee… subpoenaed a physician,” they wrote, acting shocked. Nice try, but Comer’s not buying the sob story.
A House Oversight spokeswoman called the lawyers’ letter a “delay tactic to stonewall” the investigation. She’s not wrong -- when the guilty squirm, they reach for excuses. O’Connor risks defying Congress if he skips his scheduled testimony this week.
On Tuesday, the White House counsel’s office sent O’Connor a letter, obtained by Fox News Digital, greenlighting his testimony on specific topics. These include his take on Biden’s fitness for office and any financial ties to the Biden clan. That’s the kind of transparency the left loves to preach but hates to practice.
The White House letter, dripping with legalese, justified the move: “President Trump has determined… executive privilege is not justified.” In other words, Trump’s team isn’t playing games with Biden’s secrets. This is a rare moment where the public might actually get answers.
The letter went on, noting “exceptional circumstances” in the probe, like evidence that Biden’s aides may have “concealed information” about his fitness. If true, that’s not just a scandal—it’s a constitutional crisis. The American people deserve to know who was really running the show.
Biden’s June 2024 debate flop, followed by his exit from the presidential race, sparked this firestorm. His allies, like former Chief of Staff Ronald Klain and press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, swear there was no cover-up. Sure, and the sky’s green on Tuesdays.
Comer’s not stopping at O’Connor -- he’s hauling in other Biden insiders for closed-door grillings. Former staff secretary Neera Tanden already faced the music last month. This probe is peeling back layers of the Biden White House like an onion, and it’s starting to stink.
O’Connor’s lawyers griped that no congressional committee has ever subpoenaed a doctor over patient care. “Confidentiality of the physician-patient relationship,” they bleated. Funny how they care about privacy now, but not when Biden’s team was allegedly hiding his decline from voters.
The White House counsel’s letter shredded that argument, stating Congress’s need for truth outweighs executive secrecy. “Congressional need… outweighs… Executive Branch’s interest,” it declared. That’s a polite way of saying the Biden crew’s excuses don’t hold water.
Biden’s current allies and former aides keep denying any wrongdoing, but their protests sound hollow. If there’s nothing to hide, why is O’Connor’s team dodging like a cat in a rainstorm? Comer’s investigation is clearly hitting a nerve.
The White House counsel emphasized that aides potentially “unconstitutionally exercised” presidential powers to cover for Biden. That’s not just a zinger -- it’s a bombshell that could rewrite how we view Biden’s presidency. The left’s sanctimonious “trust the process” mantra is crumbling fast.
As O’Connor’s deposition looms, the nation watches. Will he spill the beans on Biden’s fitness and his cozy ties to the family? Or will he hide behind more legal smoke and mirrors, hoping the truth stays buried?
