The Spin
Republican narrative
The American people deserve transparency about who was really running the country during Biden's presidency. O'Connor's glowing health assessments don't match what everyone could see — a president clearly struggling with cognitive decline who needed his staff to cover for him at every turn.
Democratic narrative
This probe is nothing more than a partisan witch hunt designed to undermine Biden's legacy and distract from real issues. Republicans are weaponizing their subpoena power to push a respected physician, who followed proper protocols in his assessments of a sitting president, to violate medical privacy guidelines.
