Biden's White House doctor will be grilled by Congress over 'cognitive decline,' reveals lawmaker

A Republican lawmaker revealed Joe Biden's White House doctor will be grilled by Congress over the former president's cognitive health. 

Republicans and some Democrats have long called for the truth behind what they claim is a cognitive decline in the 82-year-old during his presidency. 

Now, Texas Representative Ronny Jackson, who has a medical degree, said Dr. Kevin O'Connor will have to speak for the Democrat leader's health. 

'Dr. Kevin O’Connor will absolutely, positively be implicated in the cover-up of this,' Jackson told the New York Post. 'I guarantee you Kevin O’Connor has medical information that the American people don’t have. 

'I’ve known him for a long time; he’s part of the Biden family. He would do or say anything to cover up and protect that family, regardless of what it meant professionally for him,' the GOP representative accused. 

'This could not have been covered up without him - and Jill Biden - in particular.' 

O'Connor had previously said the then-president's health was 'excellent' and there was nothing to worry about just days before Biden dropped out of the 2024 race. 

Many Americans and lawmakers, like Jackson, were also suspicious of Dr. Kevin Cannard eight visits to the White House between July 2023 and March 2024. Cannard specializes in Parkinson's at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. 

O'Connor, at the time, said only three of those visits had been for Biden's yearly physical. 

Biden's doctor - who the politician affectionally calls 'doc' - said the Delaware native didn't need a cognitive test last year, despite many calling for one ahead of the big election. 

Concerns grew as Biden appeared confused on stage multiple times, was falling up the stairs of Air Force One and mixed up names and as his gait changed to a stiff walk. 

'He was probably putting President Biden on lots of medications that we have no clue of - in efforts to try to treat his cognitive decline,' Jackson speculated to The Post. 

Jackson said a House panel will investigate if a 'shadow presidency' was happening during Biden's term. 

The House of Representatives have not officially announced a probe into Biden's presidency. 

Jackson also wants to bring in other doctors and experts who evaluated Biden during his re-election campaign. 

Several doctors - including Jackson - had outwardly speculated that Biden was suffering from cognitive decline through the Democrat's campaign. 

'I said that over and over and over and God knows how many times I was on TV,' the Republican lawmaker told The Post. 'I was saying that this man was not fit to be president when he was candidate Joe Biden in 2020.' 

He accuses O'Connor and others of knowing 'two or three years ago' that Biden's health was declining, but 'these people are cashing in on, you know, telling the truth now and writing these books and stuff that's coming out of the woodwork.' 

Neurologist Dr. Tim Pitts told NBC News in July that he 'could've diagnosed [Biden] from across the Mall' with a Parkinson's diagnosis. 

The Biden Administration has denied the politician was facing health issues. 

DailyMail.com has reached out to O'Connor for comment.  

In fact, during his re-election campaign, his team released a 2.5-minute video showing moments Trump, who is 78, appeared to be confused. 

'Here is a montage of Donald Trump getting confused, lost, wandering off, and waving to nobody,' the Biden campaign countered.

The clips show Trump, during his presidency, departing events before he's supposed to, or awkwardly standing in place when he's supposed to be exiting.

Despite the denial, Jackson said those who covered up Biden's suspected health problems by 'purposely lying to the American people' will be held responsible. 

Kamala Harris succeed him in the Democratic race for the top spot in the nation. She narrowly missed the popular vote by 2 million votes.

Biden was blamed by senior Harris advisor David Plouffe for refusing to drop out earlier in the race after his June debate disaster.

Plouffe claimed no Democratic candidate could have won without a proper primary process — what he called 'the cardinal sin' of this race.

And he said he was shocked by the internal polling numbers when he finally joined the team after Joe Biden dropped out with less than four months to go, a situation he described as 'catastrophic.'

'When I got in, it was the first time I saw the actual numbers under the hood. They were pretty gruesome,' he told The Atlantic.

'The Sun Belt was worse than the Blue Wall, but the Blue Wall was bad. And, demographically, young voters across the board—Hispanic voters, Black voters, Asian voters—were in really terrible shape.

'When the switch happened, some of that stuff got a little bit better, but nowhere near where we ended up or where we needed to be. This was a rescue mission.

'It was catastrophic in terms of where it was.'
