WASHINGTON — Former White House doctor Kevin O’Connor will be among those grilled by House Republicans for hiding President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline from the American public, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) told The Post.
“Dr. Kevin O’Connor will absolutely, positively be implicated in the cover-up of this. He is a massive, massive part,” said Jackson, a physician by trade who served in the White House Medical Unit under three presidents before being elected to Congress, where he now chairs the House Intelligence Committee’s subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations
“I guarantee you Kevin O’Connor has medical information that the American people don’t have,” Jackson went on. “He was probably putting President Biden on lots of medications that we have no clue of — in efforts to try to treat his cognitive decline.”
“I’ve known him for a long time; he’s part of the Biden family. He would do or say anything to cover up and protect that family, regardless of what it meant professionally for him,” he added. “This could not have been covered up without him — and Jill Biden — in particular.”
The Republican lawmaker said a House panel “will look into whether or not we actually had a shadow presidency for a large part of [Biden’s] term,” though it’s unclear whether any committee is preparing for the probe just yet.
