According to the questions in the OP, we can get the information we need without the doctor releasing any patient confidential records, but he refused to answer non medical questions.
Ethics are always hilarious to MAGA. Just something to hit the other guy over the head with, eh?
You keep spewing this lie with nothing to back it up. Let's see your examples, liar.
But why can't he answer non medical questions?
Former White House physician Kevin O’Connor pleaded the Fifth Amendment multiple times during his closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.
Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., subpoenaed O’Connor to testify regarding his alleged involvement in covering up former President Joe Biden’s health and the use of a presidential autopen while in office. The expected hourlong deposition concluded quickly after O’Connor refused to provide any answers.
“I’m going to read the first two questions that were asked. ‘Were you ever told to lie about the president’s health?’ He pleaded the Fifth Amendment. He would not answer that question. The second question, ‘Did you ever believe President Biden was unfit to execute his duty?’” Comer stated to reporters, according to Fox News. “Again, President Biden’s White House physician pleaded the Fifth. This is unprecedented, and I think that this adds more fuel to the fire that there was a cover-up.”

BJ -
This doctor perpetrated a fraud on the American People, for sure.
But he wasn't instrumental.
Give him immunity -
Get to the truth, or lock him up for contempt of Congress
Plenty of recent precedent for that.
(of course, the Republicans never play serious hard ball with these people)
He doesn’t have to. Why did Trump take the fifth?
You are completely not only wrong, but as dense as concrete. The purpose of his medical examinations is to determine Biden's fitness for office. Not unlike a doctor determining a pilot's ability to fly or a police officers acumen in handling a firearm. Notice that the doctor did not base his refusal to answer on his obligations of patient confidentiality. His refusal was based on his right not to disclose his own criminal acts
His attorneys told him to claim that any information about the medical condition is secret and cannot be divulged without the permission of the "patient" Biden. But they should be able to get answers to any and all questions about other things and should give that liar immunity.Former White House physician Kevin O’Connor pleaded the Fifth Amendment multiple times during his closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.
