Why Did Biden’s Doctor Plead the Fifth?

With hearings surrounding the question of Joe Biden’s mental health underway, his personal physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, pleaded the Fifth Amendment and refused to answer Congress’s questions. At The Spectator, Neal Pollock wonders, who is O’Connor protecting? Pollack writes:

When Joe Biden’s personal physician, Kevin O’Connor, pleaded the Fifth Amendment yesterday during the ongoing Congressional hearings about Biden’s mental acuity while in office, it didn’t put suspicions to rest – it amplified them. Why would O’Connor refuse to testify if he had nothing to hide from Congress? He can claim doctor–patient confidentiality all he wants, but it’s not like Congress was asking to see X-rays or blood-test results.

What didn’t Biden know and when didn’t he know it? This is about more than just setting straight the historical record. It’s political bloodsport, the Democrats know it, and the whole things smells like a coverup. The Trump administration has made it very clear that they don’t consider orders and laws that Biden signed with his “Autopen” to be legitimate. They’re using the House Oversight Committee to do the dirty business laying the groundwork that will allow them to erase what remains of Biden’s already-fading legacy.

Committee chairman James Comer, from Kentucky, says they asked O’Connor two simple questions: “Were you ever told to lie about the president’s health?” and “Did you ever believe President Biden was unfit to execute his duties?”

The fact that O’Connor refused to answer likely means that someone, somewhere, told him not to. “Dr. O’Connor pleading the Fifth all but confirms he was a key player in the biggest coverup in presidential history and knew Joe Biden wasn’t fit to serve, and now he’s grasping for anything to protect himself,” Representative Ronny Jackson, of Texas, told the New York Post.
