Joe Biden’s WH doctor was a longtime family friend who once worked with his shady brother — as cancer ‘cover-up’ speculation mounts

The White House doctor who previously gave President Joe Biden a clean bill of health is a longtime family friend — as speculation of a cover-up over his new cancer diagnosis continues to ramp up.
Dr. Kevin O’Connor served as the 82-year-old’s official physician during his White House stint — and repeatedly insisted for years that Biden was in top mental shape despite his obvious cognitive decline.
Now, in the wake of Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis, O’Connor’s longstanding relationship with the Biden clan has come under renewed scrutiny.
O’Connor — a former Army surgeon who Biden affectionately refers to as “Doc” — has been caring for the former president and other members of his family for more than a decade.
The loyal physician also has business ties to Biden’s young brother, Jim Biden, after the pair worked closely on a rural hospital venture.
In that instance, O’Connor engaged in business discussions with James for a since-bankrupted rural hospital chain that was later hit with fraud allegations by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Justice Department.
O’Conner worked with Biden during his vice presidency, too.
After more than two decades in the Army, O’Connor joined the White House Medical Unit under then-President George W. Bush. He was only supposed to serve six months with the new vice president, Biden, but ended up staying on for years.
“That didn’t work out and, so, I ended up doing the whole eight years with him,” O’Connor joked in a rare 2023 interview with the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine.
