Meanwhile, President Trump ordered an investigation last month into &#8220;whether certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden&#8217;s mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the President.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>O&#8217;Connor&#8217;s attorneys, David Schertler and Mark MacDougall, said he declined to answer lawmakers&#8217; questions based on doctor-patient privilege and his rights under the Fifth Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement to the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, the attorneys said that the &#8220;totality of the circumstances surrounding this Committee&#8217;s investigation leave Dr. O&#8217;Connor no choice but to decline to answer questions,&#8221; while emphasizing that asserting Fifth Amendment privilege &#8220;does not imply that Dr. O&#8217;Connor has committed any crime.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/09\/ef396fe0-d748-4d19-b19c-8f8f0cb425fe\/thumbnail\/620x413\/088760373471470fea19ca40690533d9\/gettyimages-1629034486.jpg#\" alt=\"Former President Joe Biden speaks with White House Physician Kevin O'Connor as he arrives back at the White House in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 28, 2023.  \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/09\/ef396fe0-d748-4d19-b19c-8f8f0cb425fe\/thumbnail\/620x413\/088760373471470fea19ca40690533d9\/gettyimages-1629034486.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/09\/ef396fe0-d748-4d19-b19c-8f8f0cb425fe\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/27a7b9449f3c0cadbd995181368eb4e1\/gettyimages-1629034486.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Former President Joe Biden speaks with White House Physician Kevin O&#8217;Connor as he arrives back at the White House in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 28, 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                SAUL LOEB\/AFP via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In a separate statement, the attorneys cited Mr. Trump&#8217;s decision to plead the Fifth during a 2022 deposition before the New York attorney general.<\/p>\n<p>The appearance before the panel Wednesday came after Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, a Kentucky Republican, sent a letter to O&#8217;Connor last month <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/key-house-republican-subpoenas-bidens-white-house-doctor\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">compelling his testimony<\/a><\/span>. Comer outlined that the committee was seeking details about &#8220;your assessment of and relationship with former President Biden.&#8221; The letter cited a memo written by O&#8217;Conner\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Health-Summary-2.28.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">last year<\/a>\u00a0after Biden&#8217;s physical, in which he described the then-president as a &#8220;healthy, active, robust 81-year-old male, who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Comer railed against O&#8217;Connor&#8217;s decision to plead the Fifth Amendment on Wednesday, calling it &#8220;unprecedented.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think that this adds more fuel to the fire that there was a cover-up,&#8221; Comer told reporters. &#8220;This is something I think every American is concerned about. I think every American wants to know the truth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Kentucky Republican pledged to move forward with the investigation, saying several other witnesses will be testifying before the committee. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Most people invoke the Fifth when they have criminal liabilities, and that&#8217;s what it would appear on the surface here,&#8221; Comer claimed. &#8220;We&#8217;re going to continue to move forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a Texas Democrat on the Oversight Committee, defended O&#8217;Connor&#8217;s decision to reporters, saying, &#8220;With this rogue DOJ that has decided that it wants to run a contemporaneous investigation, criminal investigation involving the doctor, I think that he did what any good lawyer would advise him to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t understand why we keep looking backwards,&#8221; Crockett added. &#8220;The reality is that the country wasn&#8217;t off the rails when Joe Biden was sitting in the White House. The country is off the rails right now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__meta--contributors\">\n<p>                      <span class=\"byline__author__text\">Jaala  Brown<\/span><\/p>\n<p>
