Congress may be on summer vacation, but the drama from Washington, D.C., is far from taking a break. Politicians from both sides are gearing up for what could be termed “Biden’s Medical Mystery.” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, sent a bold letter to the President’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor. The request? Dr. O’Connor needs to chat with the Committee by July 14 for a detailed transcribed interview. The letter goes beyond just questioning the President’s health; it dives deep into Biden family connections and financial breadcrumbs, sparking quite the Internet buzz.
Ah, the glorious days when a doctor’s job was just about physicals and prescriptions. Not anymore! Comer’s letter even made it to the top of the Oversight Committee’s social media post. One wonders, did Dr. O’Connor’s dealings with the Biden family put a rosy filter on his health assessments of Joe Biden? It’s the type of tale that would make even House M.D. raise an eyebrow.

The tangled web extends far beyond Joe Biden’s alleged health report. The President’s brother, James Biden, pops up, and he’s not just there for Thanksgiving dinner. Apparently, James Biden was involved with Americore Health, LLC, a company now drowning in bankruptcy but making headlines for all the wrong reasons. As per Comer’s insights, James Biden decided to slide $200,000 into Joe Biden’s account with the nonchalance of a teenager borrowing dad’s car keys.
The Committee isn’t stopping at letters and polite requests. Comer’s no amateur at investigative drama; he’s already subpoenaed several members of the Biden entourage, including James Biden. February saw James Biden sit down for a transcribed tête-à-tête with the House Oversight and House Judiciary Committees. The plot thickens as reports suggest that Dr. O’Connor, Hunter Biden, and James Biden had their own little hobnob sessions. Can anyone say, “Medical Mafia”?
Previously, Dr. O’Connor had the audacity to paint Joe Biden as a “healthy, active, robust 81-year-old male,” and he did so without a cognitive test. Talk about practicing medicine with a blindfold on. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre swooped in like a knight in designer armor, claiming Joe doesn’t need to take a cognitive test. But wait, even CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Representative Ronny Jackson, a doctor himself, are urging that Biden take one. When CNN and Republicans agree, something’s fishy.
As for Biden’s own word salad on the matter, he claimed during an interview that he takes a cognitive test “every single day.” One can only imagine the puzzled looks exchanged off-camera. With mixed signals flying from the President, his doctor, and the ever-evasive White House Press Secretary, it’s no surprise Comer is looking for answers.
The cherry on top? More confusion from the White House. Jean-Pierre insisted Biden’s last doctor visit was in February, while Biden and Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates cited a recent doctor visit over a cold. It’s about as synchronized as a chicken dance at a wedding, leaving everyone scratching their heads.
To sum it up, Comer’s letter to O’Connor is pressing for clarity amidst this circus of claims and counterclaims. With the spotlight on Biden’s health and the doctor’s financial dalliances with the Biden family, one can expect plenty of political theater. So, grab the popcorn, America; this spectacle is just getting started.
