Former White House physician to appear before House committee investigating Biden's mental fitness

Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the former White House physician who treated then-President Joe Biden, will appear for a deposition before the House Oversight Committee on July 9, a source familiar with the committee’s schedule confirmed to NBC News.

O’Connor agreed to appear after being subpoenaed by the committee’s chairman, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., who is spearheading an investigation into Biden’s alleged cognitive decline while in office. Comer is specifically focused on Biden's use of an autopen for official government business.

In addition to O’Connor, the Oversight Committee has scheduled transcribed interviews with former Biden White House aides Neera Tanden, Anthony Bernal, Ashley Williams and Annie Tomasini. Those aides all scheduled interviews without being subpoenaed.

O’Connor could be a key witness in the committee’s attempt to prove allegations that Biden’s diminished capacity led to key decisions being made by people other than the president. The committee has yet to offer any specific evidence to back up that argument.

are they going to ask Biden to step down from his position as President?

This isn't a witch hunt; it's an excuse hunt.

Perhaps we should have hearings on Reagans last days where it was obvious that he was done. This can't be what our government is doing.

When I was a practicing mental health professional, I always refused court orders
to testify or hand over all my records about a patient.

I told the judge you can throw me in jail, I don't care.
I am not coughing up the info you want on any of my patients.
Now or ever. End of story.

No judge ever sent me to jail or fined me, etc.
But I was fully prepared to go to jail over the matter.

Trump has actually said there are EOs he didn’t sign and I believe he had no clue what was in the ones he did personally sign

So very disgusted this is happening
