House Republican and former White House doctor Ronny Jackson (TX) is accusing President Biden's doctor of sexual misconduct on the job.

Biden's longtime physician, Kevin O'Connor, has come under increasing scrutiny over his role in covering up Biden's decline.

Biden's doctor accused

In an interview with the Daily Caller, Jackson claimed that O'Connor would make sexually inappropriate jokes that made colleagues uncomfortable. Jackson was head of the Director of the White House Medical Unit (WHMU), but hesitated to fire him.

"I didn’t get rid of him because I knew it would be an exercise in futility,” Jackson said. “Because if I had gotten rid of him, it was made very clear to me that I would be immediately getting a phone call from President Obama telling me, ‘What are you doing? Joe Biden’s upset. You need to hire this guy back or you need to stop this. You can’t get rid of this guy.'”

Without sharing details, Jackson said O'Connor would crack jokes in "very bad taste" that upset female co-workers. Jackson described a lewd stunt that O'Connor would allegedly use to introduce himself to people.

"This is like something you would see a 12-year-old boy do, but one of the things he would do — and I’ve seen him do it several times — is he would meet people for the first time, and he would ask them for their phone," he said.

"And they would give him their phone, and he would stick their phone in his pants in the area where his groin’s at, then give them their phone back."

Jackon claimed the Bidens appreciated O'Connor's lewd humor.

Congress issues subpoena

Jackson began working at the White House Medical Unit under President George W. Bush, later serving as its director under President Obama. He was physician to the president from 2013 to 2018, serving both Obama and President Trump.

The former Navy officer says he did not fire O'Connor because he "assumed" that former vice president Biden would insist on having him reinstated.

“My assumption is he would have called the president or called somebody, like the chief of staff or somebody on President Obama’s staff, senior staff, and passed word to them that he would have wanted that reversed," Jackson said.

O'Connor has been Biden's doctor since he became vice president in 2009, and the doctor even worked on one of the family's failed business ventures. His closeness to the Bidens has raised questions about the objectivity of his health assessments.

Indeed, despite never administering a cognitive test, O'Connor declared that Biden was fit for duty as recently as February 2024.

After resisting an interview with Congress, O'Connor received a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee to testify about Biden's fitness.
