Former Biden White House physician Dr Kevin O’Connor took the Fifth in his deposition with House Oversight Chairbilly James Comer’s stupid probe into the former president’s health condition on Wednesday, Politico reports on what came around now going around for Republicans.
“On the advice of his legal counsel, Dr O’Connor refused to answer questions that invaded the well-established legal privilege that protects confidential matters between physicians and their patients,” said O’Connor’s lawyer in a statement. “His assertion of his right under the Fifth Amendment to decline to answer questions, also on the advice of his lawyers, was made necessary by the unique circumstances of this deposition,” the statement continued. Per Politico the statement also made mention of “President Donald Trump’s own invocation of his Fifth Amendment right before his deposition with New York State Attorney General Letitia James, quoting Trump’s suggestion that only ‘an absolute fool’ would refuse to take the Fifth.” Nice touch on that part.
