Rep. James Comer (R-KY) speaks to reporters after taking the closed-door testimony of Biden-era White House physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor.
Transcript
00:00All right.
00:27Chairman, can you tell us what happened in that position?
00:31I can tell you exactly what happened.
00:35Dr. O'Connor pleaded the Fifth Amendment,
00:39and I'm going to read the first two questions that were asked.
00:45Were you ever told to lie about the President's health?
00:49He pleaded the Fifth Amendment.
00:51He would not answer that question.
00:53The second question.
00:55Did you ever believe President Biden was unfit to execute his duties?
01:00Again, President Biden's White House position pleaded the Fifth Amendment.
01:07This is unprecedented, and I think that this adds more fuel to the fire,
01:12that there was a cover-up.
01:14I believe that this adds legitimacy to the Tapper book and the other books that
01:19are in the works that are about to come out that shows there was a lot of suspicious activity
01:25taking place in the White House with respect to the President's health.
01:30This is something I think every American is concerned about.
01:33I think every American wants to know the truth.
01:36We're going to continue this investigation.
01:38We'll move forward.
01:39We have several other witnesses that are going to come in for depositions and transcribed interviews.
01:46We will do everything in our ability to be transparent with the media,
01:49be transparent with the American people.
01:52This is very serious, and this was an opportunity for Dr. O'Connor to defend his reputation,
02:00to defend his work, and he chose to take the Fifth.
02:05And I think that, you know, that's something that every American is going to be concerned about.
02:11The Press Press Is some of that because of the doctor-patient confidentiality?
02:14I mean, there are questions about, you know, HIPAA and HIPPACRITIC Oath and all that.
02:18The first two questions pertained, again, were you ever told to lie about the President's health?
02:27And he said the Fifth.
02:29It had nothing to do with it.
02:31But you know that when you have these depositions, people don't toggle back and forth.
02:35Either they invoke the Fifth or they don't.
02:37So, I mean, could that have been just giving himself a shield overall because they don't go back and forth?
02:42Most people invoke the Fifth when they have criminal liability.
02:48And, you know, that's what it would appear on the surface here.
02:52So we're not going to, you know, we're going to continue to move forward.
02:56Obviously, I think his actions today speak loud and clear.
03:02But, again, this was an opportunity to come clean.
03:04And, you know, you could say, oh, the President was in great health.
03:06This is just a conspiracy theory.
03:08He was fine.
03:09I don't know why they used the auto pen 75% of the time when he was in the White House.
03:15I mean, this is what it's all about.
03:17It's about the auto pen.
03:19There is serious concern, and the evidence mounts by the minute that Joe Biden had no idea what his name was being signed to.
03:30And we're talking about executive orders, and we are talking about pardons.
03:35So, you know, what Dr. O'Connor did today only added fuel to the fire, that there was a cover-up and that, you know, Joe Biden wasn't mentally fit to serve as President of the United States.
03:47We're going to keep bringing people in.
03:49And hopefully the next witnesses will answer the questions just like the first witness did, Nira.
03:56So, hopefully we can get some answers for it.
03:59Thank you all.
