President Biden's White House physician helped the Biden family secure a big payout from a failed hospital venture in 2018, and lawmakers are now questioning whether his doctor's involvement in family business marred his objectivity in diagnosing Mr. Biden's cognitive abilities.

In this Dec. 12, 2020 file photo, then President-elect Joe Biden leaves a doctor’s appointment at Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia. Biden has brought back Dr.

The president told Democratic governors in a meeting on Friday he had been checked out by a doctor and was “fine,” while Ms. Jean-Pierre told reporters he had not had a medical exam. Dr. O’Connor, however, has never recommended the president take a cognitive test, and Mr. Biden and White House aides have referred to Dr. O’Connor’s glowing annual health assessments when questioned about the president’s fitness for office.

The president’s younger brother, James Biden, told House lawmakers in a closed-door deposition earlier this year that Dr. O’Connor served essentially as a consultant in helping him come up with proposals for “filling these hospitals” from which Americore sought to profit. A Republican committee aide said lawmakers have not determined whether Dr. O’Connor received payment from the Bidens for his participation in the Americore business scheme.

In Mr. Biden’s memoir, “Promise Me, Dad,” son Beau Biden, who was dying of brain cancer, “grabbed Doc’s hand” on the way into surgery and told him, “No matter what happens. Take care of Pop. For real. Promise me. For real.”Americore sued James Biden in 2022. Court records indicate that Americore partnered with him in 2017 specifically to help expand the business through his political connections.
