The former doctor of the White House criticizes the former doctor of Biden for pleading the fifth amendment

A former doctor of the White House criticized Kevin O’Connor after the former doctor of the Biden administration refused to answer questions from investigators from the Chamber’s supervisory committee this week.

Dr. O’Connor, who was a doctor of the White House to former president Joe Biden, sat on an interview transcribed with the committee staff and president of the Panel James Comer, R-Ky., Wednesday. The closed -door meeting lasted about 30 minutes, O’Connor invoking the fifth amendment to all questions, except for his name.

His legal team said that there were concerns that the broad range of Comer’s investigation could force O’Connor to a risk of privileges of confidentiality of the doctor-patient.

“Well, you can’t do both,” said Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, a former White House doctor at Fox News Digital in an interview.

“I mean, the fifth amendment is designed to prevent it from in line with a certain type of criminal behavior or contrary to ethics.

He pointed out that O’Connor lawyers had already raised problems with the confidentiality of the patient patient in a letter to the committee trying to make the interview delay, but Comer has moved forward.

“They had already let him know that in this particular case, because he had been assigned to appear, and it was a legal process, he had been assigned to testify before the congress in this session in camera, that the privilege of the patient-dominant was no longer applied,” said Jackson. “And President Trump had given up the presidential privilege. So that left him nothing.

Before being elected at Congress, Jackson was a White House doctor both to former President BARACK OBAMA and to the current President Donald Trump.

Commer told journalists on Wednesday that Jackson had played a key role in the development of questions for O’Connor.

“We have a lot of questions that we have prepared for this. We have viewed Ronny Jackson closely, my colleague, who was the doctor of the White House in the first Trump administration. We consulted a lot of people in the medical community, so there will be a lot of medical questions that are asked,” he told journalists before the transcribed interview.

He investigates accusations that the former best aids of the Biden House of Blanche covered signs of his mental and physical decline during their mandate, and if executive actions were ordered via Autopen without the full knowledge of the president. The Biden allies have rejected these complaints.

“The concealment could not have occurred without the help and help of his personal doctor, Kevin O’Connor,” said Jackson. “I think that is why he pleaded the fifth, because he realized that he was about to get involved as a key player in this concealment.”

O’Connor lawyers have denied any guilt.

Jackson said some of the questions he recommended for the committee would have surrounded any potential neurological concern or cognitive test while Biden was in power.

But many of them were left without a dosage, it seems, after the brief meeting of O’Connor with the investigators of the Chamber.

The lawyers of the doctor said that O’Connor’s refusal to answer questions for the reasons for the fifth amendment was not an admission of guilt, but rather a response to what they considered it unprecedented survey This could have raped the limits of the patient-medicine privilege.

“This committee told Dr O’Connor and his lawyers that he does not intend to honor one of the best known privileges of our law – the privilege of the patient’s patient. Instead, the Committee said that he demanded that Dr O’Connor reveals, without any limitation, said the confidential declaration concerning his medical examinations, the treatment and care of the Prosecutor.”

“The revelation of the confidential information of the patients would violate the most fundamental ethical duty of a doctor could lead to the revocation of the medical license of Dr O’Connor and would submit Dr. O’Connor to a potential civil liability. Dr. O’Connor will not violate his oath of confidentiality to one of his patients, including President Biden.”
