Congressman Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., on Wednesday suggested Congress obviate former President Joe Biden’s former doctor’s Fifth Amendment rights in order for him to testify after he refused to cooperate with a GOP House probe.
“If this were a normal criminal trial, we would say you can’t take that into account,” Biggs said on the “Just the News, No Noise” TV show. “But here we’re talking about testifying before Congress under oath, and you’re taking the Fifth Amendment, which means that you think that you might get referred to some place for potential additional investigation and prosecution.”
Biden’s White House Dr. Kevin O’Connor invoked his Fifth Amendment rights in deciding not to comply with a House subpoena to give scheduled, closed-door testimony Wednesday morning as part of the GOP-led chamber’s probe into Biden’s mental acuity and whether his inner circle tried to conceal a cognitive decline from the public.
O’Connor is among several members of Biden’s inner circle being called to testify on the matter.
