Overview

• Former Obama physician Jeffrey Kuhlman said Kevin O’Connor failed to administer any neurocognitive tests during Biden’s final year in office, describing the February 2024 physical as noting only a “healthy, active, robust” 81-year-old without assessing mental acuity.
• The Republican-led House Oversight Committee subpoenaed O’Connor to testify on June 27 about his decision to omit cognitive testing from President Biden’s last White House physical.
• President Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate whether Biden’s aides abused an autopen device to sign executive actions without his direct approval, alleging a cover-up of declining mental fitness.
• Joe Biden announced a post-presidential diagnosis of metastatic prostate cancer, intensifying calls for full transparency of his health records from his time in office and beyond.
• White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre maintained in February 2024 that Biden “passes a cognitive test every day,” rejecting demands for formal neurocognitive exams.
