As fallout continues from the shocking revelations in Original Sin—the new exposé detailing alleged cover-ups inside the Biden White House—a spotlight is now fixed on Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the former president’s personal physician and longtime confidant. O’Connor, once viewed as a low-profile figure behind the scenes, is now central to a growing congressional investigation that may determine whether Americans were misled about President Joe Biden’s health—and if key officials enabled a deception at the highest levels of government.

The situation intensified last Thursday when, under threat of subpoena, O’Connor—the last of five targeted witnesses—contacted the House Oversight Committee through an attorney, indicating his willingness to discuss a transcribed interview. The clock is now ticking toward a critical hearing scheduled for June 25, where lawmakers hope to grill O’Connor on what he knew, when he knew it, and whether his medical assessments were compromised.
The revelations come amid the dual headlines that Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, and that Original Sin quotes O’Connor warning aides that Biden might need a wheelchair in his final year if he suffered another bad fall.
“Given Biden’s age,” the book recounts, “[Dr. O’Connor] also privately said that if he had another bad fall, a wheelchair might be necessary for what could be a difficult recovery.”
According to authors Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, the aides’ reaction to that idea was pure political calculus: a wheelchair would have visibly confirmed what Trump had long alleged—that Biden was unfit for office. That, in an election year, was seen as catastrophic.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has made it clear: O’Connor is no longer just a bystander. He is a potential witness in a government-wide deception, and possibly, a participant. Comer is investigating whether O’Connor’s health assessments were tainted by conflicts of interest, including his connections to Americore Health, LLC and James Biden, the president’s brother.
“We don’t believe O’Connor’s reports were honest,” Comer said in a recent Fox News appearance. “The American people deserve to know if they were misled about who was actually running the country.”
Last July, Comer first called on O’Connor to testify after Biden’s disastrous debate performance, and the White House’s evasiveness only deepened the suspicion. The White House “stalled,” Comer claims, in efforts to delay or deny access to O’Connor.
Now, with Biden’s own medical status growing more urgent, and O’Connor’s name in bold print in Original Sin, the pressure is at an all-time high.

The Biden family’s track record of withholding medical information is well-documented in Original Sin and now forms the basis of what Comer sees as a broader culture of concealment. One case in point: the tragic illness and death of Beau Biden.
As the book recounts, when Beau was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 2013, the Biden family went to great lengths to mislead the media and the public, including instructing staff to provide false information about his whereabouts. He traveled under aliases, and physicians reportedly issued fraudulent clean bills of health—a stunning revelation that further undermines public trust in Biden’s inner circle.
“The public doesn’t just have a right to know—it has a need to know if presidential health is being concealed,” Comer said.
The unanswered question now is whether O’Connor and the other four former aides will be formally placed under oath when testifying. Legal experts argue that’s the only way to ensure truthful answers and preserve accountability. Given the stakes—including the legality of executive actions signed during Biden’s final year, some possibly via autopen while he was incapacitated—Comer and GOP lawmakers appear ready to go all in.
“This is about the integrity of our executive branch,” Comer stated. “If Joe Biden wasn’t making these decisions, then who was?”
