Biden’s former doctor asks to delay testimony to House panel, citing patient privilege concerns
Washington (AP) -Eski President Joe Biden’s doctor, as a part of Biden’s health in the office, needed an agreement that would respect the rules of privacy in the office, asked for an agreement to delay his statement before the Assembly surveillance committee this week.
Dr. Biden’s doctor in the White House. Until the end of July, Kevin O’Connor asked for a delay to reach a stay to accommodate the very important privilege and privilege interests of Dr. O’Connor and former President Biden ”. Associated Press took a copy of the letter.
The Republicans, a spokesman for the surveillance, said that the committee would follow the first name of the Assembly that enables the witnesses to claim privilege on the basis of question-question, and that the chairman of the committee claims to claim a privilege in every claim. However, O’Connor is not allowed to delay or reject a Congress Court Celbin due to concerns about the questioning questions about the potentially privileged information.
The front-return is part of a wider struggle on the scope of the Republican investigation of Biden, which has serious effects on both politics and politics. The Republicans also claimed that some policies carried out by the White House “Autopen olur could be invalid if it was proven mentally insufficient for a part of Biden’s period.
Biden rejected his claims that he was not in the right mind at any point when he was in office and described the allegations as “ridiculous and wrong”.
The Assembly Surveillance Committee first asked O’Connor to testify in front of the committee last July, but Biden prevented the White House. Comer renewed his request in May and then appeared in the doctoral court in June.
O’Connor’s lawyer David Schertler said that the committee refused to “welcome Dr. O’Connor’s objections to any degree” about the protection of privilege. He warned that the committee’s decision was “unprecedented” and “worrying ve and threatened wider principles in medical privacy.
Scherlter said O’Connor may face “serious consequences ına because he violated his obligations as a doctor, including the loss of his medical license.
In the June prisoner of O’Connor, Comer said that under the ethical rules of the American Medical Association, the allegations of doctor-patient privilege are “lack of merit” because this code is not part of the federal law. He said that the committee of the committee meets the medical information of a patient in case that physicians are “forced to disclose information legally” or that they should be done by the authority that has been legally created by the authority.
Comer promised that the committee would announce all its findings to the public after the investigation was finished. He sentenced O’Connor and former Chief of General Staff Anthony Bernal, the former female Jill Biden. Last month, the committee heard the voluntary statement of Biden’s former director of the internal policy advisor.
The Committee is also the former White House Chief of General Staff Ron Klain and Jeff Zients; Former Senior Consultants Mike Donilon and Anita Dunn; Former Deputy Chief of General Staff Bruce Reed, former adviser of President Steve Ricchetti, former Chief of General Staff Annie Tomasini and former assistant of President Ashley Williams.
Trump White House waived the privilege of execution, which is a principle that preserves many communication between the President and the staff and the courts for about 10 former Biden personnel. This movement leads to discussion of these employees when they were president.
While the privilege can apply for former employees, it is decided whether to waive.
