House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer vowed Tuesday evening to subpoena the White House physician if he does not volunteer information to Congress and to compel the release of information on any other medical visits President Joe Biden has attended outside the presidential mansion.
“This is the No. 1 issue in America,” Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., told the Just the News, No Noise television show hours before the deadline for White House Dr. Kevin O’Connor to cooperate was set to expire.
Comer’s threat came as White House visitor logs confirmed that a neurologist specializing in Parkinson’s disease visited the presidential mansion eight times in eight months, including to see O’Connor. The White House said the visits were part of Biden’s annual physical review and that the president does not suffer from Parkinson’s disease.
But the revelation alongside of Biden’s widely panned debate performance two weeks ago raised concerns among Democrats and the news media that the 46th president may be more frail and sick than the White House has acknowleged.
Comer’s committee demanded O’Connor’s cooperation in a bombshell letter Sunday that also revealed the White House physician may have given advice to the president’s brother James on a controversial business deal.
