Former President Joe Biden's personal doctor is being subpoenaed to testify amid allegations of a cover-up of his cognitive decline during his term in the White House.
Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is compelling Dr. Kevin O’Connor to appear for a deposition on June 27.
The subpoena is part of the investigation into the cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline and potentially unauthorized issuance of sweeping pardons and other executive actions.
"No autopen was used in the signing of this subpoena," Comer wrote on X, referring to Biden's use of an autopen to exercise his presidential responsibilities.
Comer recently requested O'Connor to voluntarily appear for a transcribed interview, but the doctor refused, according to the subpoena.
Previously, the White House blocked the doctor from appearing for a separate interview to discuss Biden's medical assessments and "involvement in the Biden family’s influence peddling racket, but the Biden White House blocked his testimony," a committee news release states.
"Among other subjects, the Committee expressed its interest in whether your financial relationship with the Biden family affected your assessment of former President Biden’s physical and mental fitness to fulfill his duties as President," the subpoena states. "Given your connections with the Biden family,3 the Committee sought to understand if you contributed to an effort to hide former President Biden’s fitness to serve from the American people."
