๐ฐ๐ฅผSpin doctor? House Oversight Committee seeks to interview Biden doctor over corruption claims
The Republican-led House Oversight Committee sought to question White House physician Dr. Kevin OโConnor, challenging his independence in light of financial ties to US President Joe Bidenโs family.
Comerโs letter includes an image of a check for $200,000 made out to Dr. OโConnor from the funds of the company Americore Health, with the payout to the physician made even as the rural healthcare provider was facing impending bankruptcy. The funds were provided through a transfer of up to $400,000 from the company to President Bidenโs brother, James Biden.
Americore Health made the payment to James Biden โbased upon representations that his last name, โBiden,โ could โopen doorsโ and that he could obtain a large investment from the Middle East based on his political connections,โ the letter alleges.

The Republican-led House Oversight Committee sought to question White House physician Dr. Kevin OโConnor, challenging his independence in light of financial ties to US President Joe Bidenโs family.
โAmericans question President Bidenโs ability to lead the country, and the Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating circumstances surrounding your assessment in February of this year that โPresident Biden is a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old-male, who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency,โ writes committee chair James Comer.

"During his transcribed interview, James Biden confirmed Dr. OโConnor provided him counsel in connection with the alleged work he was performing for Americore," the statement read.

In total, there are 577 seats in the lower house of parliament. Thus, no political force gained enough votes to form a majority government alone. No information has emerged about possible coalitions.
