Biden’s doctor embarrasses the profession
In 2006, freelance journalist Josh Wolf spent 226 days in a federal prison. His crime? Refusing to turn over unpublished video footage and the names of confidential sources to a grand jury. Wolf believed in something larger than himself: the right of a free press to protect its sources. He didn’t take the Fifth. He took the heat. Now fast forward to 2025. President Biden’s longtime personal physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, was reportedly subpoenaed by Congress to answer questions about the president’s health and whether he’d ever been pressured to misrepresent it. Instead of testifying, or refusing on grounds of medical ethics, O’Connor invoked the Fifth Amendment. That’s not courage. That’s self-preservation wrapped in white-coat privilege.
