White House doctor who gave Biden glowing health report helped him cash in on business deal

President Biden’s White House physician helped the Biden family secure a big payout from a failed hospital venture in 2018, and lawmakers are now questioning whether his doctor’s involvement in family business marred his objectivity in diagnosing Mr. Biden’s cognitive abilities.

The new questions about White House physician Kevin O’Connor’s medical judgment arose amid rapidly growing concerns among voters and Democratic Party leaders about Mr. Biden’s fitness for duty and whether he should run for reelection.

House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chair James Comer wrote to Dr. O’Connor on Sunday, requesting that he appear for questioning before the panel about his involvement in the Biden family business and his objectivity in assessing the president’s mental and physical fitness.
