Scott Perry: Congress not done with Biden doctor after 5th Amendment invocation

Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., said Thursday that the House would continue with its probe into former President Joe Biden's mental health after his former doctor cited the 5th Amendment to avoid answering questions.

"This guy pled the fifth," Perry said on the "John Solomon Reports" podcast. "He's not the last one we're going to go to, and we're not going to be done with him, or this story."

Biden's White House Dr. Kevin O'Connor invoked his Fifth Amendment rights during 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 who have faced calls to testify on the matter.

"Keep a seat belt on and keep your head on the swivel... because there's going to be a lot happening," Perry said. "It's been a fast first six months, and the next six aren't going to be any slower."

Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., on Wednesday suggested Congress obviate O'Connor's Fifth Amendment rights in order for him to testify.

"If that's the way you're going to go, then I think Congress is going to probably have to say, 'Guess what? We think that there's some fire where that smoke is.' And maybe we should just grant him a limited immunity, and that would obviate his Fifth Amendment right, and thus we could find out what really happened," Biggs said on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show.
