Republicans demand answers from White House doctor who gave president glowing health report, business dealings with Biden family



House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) is demanding answers from White House physician Kevin O’Connor regarding the mental health of President Joe Biden as well as past business dealings with the president's younger brother.

“After a concerning debate performance by President Biden against former President Donald Trump on June 27, journalists have rushed to report on what Americans have seen plainly for years: the President appears unwell," Comer wrote. "Americans question President Biden’s ability to lead the country, and the Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating circumstances surrounding your assessment in February of this year that ‘President Biden is a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old-male, who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency."

Comer continued, "Recently, it was reported that you have ‘never recommended that [President] Biden take a cognitive test.’ The Oversight Committee is concerned your medical assessments have been influenced by your private business endeavors with the Biden family."

In the February health report, O'Connor claimed Biden "continues to be fit for duty and fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations."

In O'Connor's glowing report released in 2023, the White House doctor gushed: "President Biden remains a healthy, vigorous, 80-year-old male, who is fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency, to include those as Chief Executive, Head of State and Commander in Chief."

Representative Comer is calling on O'Connor to appear for a transcribed interview "regarding his medical assessments of President Biden and his private endeavors with the Biden family’s business schemes." Comer described the business dealings as the "Biden family’s influence-peddling schemes."

The Biden family business schemes in question involve O'Connor, the president's brother James Biden, and Americore Health, LLC – a company that operates hospitals in rural areas and is now involved in bankruptcy proceedings.

During a closed-door deposition in February, James Biden told the House Oversight Committee that O'Connor served as a consultant in assisting him with proposals for “filling these hospitals” from which Americore sought to profit.

“I had gotten through his — as Vice President, his personal physician was Colonel Kevin O’Connor,” James Biden said in the interview.

Americore’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy trustee, Carol Fox, previously told the committee that James Biden had received two loans for amounts of $400,000 and $200,000 from Americore. The president's brother reportedly claimed he could "open doors" to secure Middle Eastern investments because of the Biden family name.

The same day James Biden received the $200,000 wire transfer from Americore, he wrote his brother a $200,000 check, according to Comer. The check was labeled as "loan repayment," House investigators determined.

Comer said to O'Connor on Sunday, "You have repeatedly refused most interview requests from the media, and the Committee now turns to you to provide answers regarding your independence because of the mixed and confused messaging coming from the White House regarding the President’s ability to perform his job."

He added, "Given your connections with the Biden family, the Committee also seeks to understand if you are in a position to provide accurate and independent reviews of the President’s fitness to serve."

Comer requested "all documents and communications in your possession regarding Americore and James Biden."

Fear not: President Joe Biden IS the picture of health



According to left-wing media, Joe Biden is the picture of health.

“If you’re concerned about Joe Biden’s age, you probably don’t know Joe Biden,” Joy Reid told her audience on MSNBC, which echoed the sentiment of anchors across the board.

“Biden is actually in good shape,” said one loyal anchor. Another said he’s “mentally, quite acute.”

Pat Gray is appalled.

“Yes, I mean, there’s no evidence of him struggling with his mental acuity, there’s no evidence of that. This is completely made-up whole cloth by haters on the right,” Gray mocks.

Meanwhile, there is endless evidence that Biden is not the mentally fit president Democrats make him out to be.

In one clip, Biden incriminates himself at a rally by saying he goes way back with a woma who was 12 when he was 30.

“We go back a long way. She was 12, I was 30, but anyway, this woman helped me get an awful lot done,” Biden said.

Biden has also been caught on camera, multiple times, sniffing underage and terrified children.

In one clip, he’s seen hugging a little boy closely before telling the audience, “He gave me permission to touch him.”

“This was right after he was called out for this and told it was inappropriate: ‘Stop doing this to people. They’re uncomfortable with it. It’s offensive, it’s sick, leave people alone.’ First thing he does, starts touching the boy,” Gray says, disgusted.

Breaking: White House physician update says President Trump has tested negative for coronavirus



The latest update from the White House physician said that President Donald Trump had tested negative for the coronavirus.

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany posted the statement from Dr. Sean Conley to her official social media account on Monday.

"In response to your inquiry regarding the President's most recent COVID-19 tests, I can share with you that he has tested NEGATIVE, on conservative days, using the Abbott BinaxNOW antigen card," read the statement.

"It is important to note that this test was not used in isolation for the determination of the President's current negative status," Conley continued and listed the numerous criteria used for his determination.

"This comprehensive data, in concert with the CDC's guidelines for removal of transmission-based precautions, have informed our medical team's assessment that the President is not infectious to others," he concluded.

Trump upended the news cycle when he tweeted on Oct. 2 that he and first lady Melania Trump had tested positive for the coronavirus. He received treatment during a weekend stay at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, and returned to the White House on Oct. 5. He said that he had experienced only mild symptoms from the virus.

Conley had said in a previous update on Saturday that the president was no longer contagious so that he could continue campaigning in public. Many critics noted that the language he used tiptoed around whether the president had tested negative or not.

The new update clearly settled the issue on Monday.

'A protective glow'

The president touted his medical results in a phone interview Sunday with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News.

"I passed the highest test, the highest standards, and I'm in great shape. And I have to tell you, I feel fantastically, I really feel good," the president said.

"I even feel good by the fact that the word 'immunity' means something. Having really a protectiveglow means something," he concluded. "I think it's very important to have that. To have that is a very important thing.

Doctors OK Trump to get back to campaign trail



The president's physician said that President Donald Trump could return to public events after completing treatment for coronavirus in an update released on Thursday.

Dr. Sean Conley listed the president's vital signs in the statement and said he was doing extremely well.

"Today the President has completed his course of therapy for the COVID-19 as prescribed by his team of physicians," read the statement in part.

"Since returning home, his physical exam has remained stable and devoid of any indications to suggest progressions of illness. Overall he's responded extremely well to treatment, without evidence on examination of adverse therapeutic effects," Conley continued.

"Saturday will be day 10 since Thursday's diagnosis, and based on the trajectory of advanced diagnostics the team has been conducting, I fully anticipate the President's safe return to public engagements at that time," he concluded.

The president stunned the political world on Friday morning when he tweeted that he and the first lady had tested positive for the coronavirus. He was taken to Walter Reed Medical Center out of an abundance of precaution later that day, and returned to the White House on Monday.

The announcement might affect the debate over whether to conduct a second presidential debate between the president and his competitor, Joe Biden.

On Thursday the Commission on Presidential Debates said that the debate would be conducted virtually instead of being in person. The president immediately objected and said that he would not participate in a virtual debate.

"The commission changed the debate style and that's not acceptable to us," said the president to Maria Bartiromo on Fox News.

"I'm not going to waste my time on a virtual debate. That's not what debating's all about, you sit behind a computer and do a debate, it's ridiculous," he added later.

"They're trying to protect Biden," said the president. "Everybody is."

The Trump campaign later called on the commission to delay the debates by one week in order that they may be conducted in person.

White House physician releases update on the president and the first lady, including treatment Trump is taking for coronavirus



The president's physician released a statement updating the public on the state of President Donald Trump and the first lady, including details on what treatment he's receiving for the coronavirus.

Dr. Sean Conley released the statement through the White House press secretary's office on Friday, the day after the president revealed on Twitter that he had tested positive for the virus.

"As of this afternoon, the President remains fatigued but in good spirits," Conley said in the statement.

"He's being evaluated by a team of experts, and together we'll be making recommendations to the President and First Lady in regards to next best steps," he added.

Conley detailed the treatment that the president was receiving for the coronavirus.

"Following PCR-confirmation of the president's diagnosis, as a precautionary measure he received a single 8 gram dose of Regenerons's polyclonal antibody cocktail. He completed the infusion without incident," wrote Conley.

"In addition to the polyclonal antibodies, the President has been taking zinc, Vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin and a daily aspirin," Conley added.

He also said that first lady Melania Trump was experiencing "only a mild cough and headache," but remained well. The rest of the Trump family tested negative for the coronavirus.

Earlier in the day, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows told reporters in a media briefing that the president was experiencing "mild symptoms" from the coronavirus.

The president made the stunning announcement about his positive test after it was revealed that his close aide Hope Hicks had also tested positive. Since then a number of other Republican political figures have admitted to testing positive, including the Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, and Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah.

The president said that he and the first lady will begin the process of quarantine.
