The White House has officially waived executive privilege, allowing federal investigators full access to records involving President Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, as part of a broader inquiry into alleged obstruction of justice.

The decision comes amid a Department of Justice review examining whether officials improperly intervened in an investigation concerning Dr. O’Connor’s patient files. The White House’s cooperation is seen as a move to ensure transparency and support the integrity of the ongoing probe.

A senior administration official stated that the waiver demonstrates the president’s confidence in the investigative process and commitment to accountability. With the privilege lifted, prosecutors now have access to internal documents and communications that were previously off-limits.

Federal investigators are examining whether senior officials attempted to shield Dr. O’Connor from legal scrutiny—raising questions about the handling of medical records and potential political interference. The possible obstruction allegations stem from actions taken during the early stages of the inquiry.

While no charges have been filed, the waiver marks a significant development in the investigation. The DOJ has yet to comment on the status of the probe, and Dr. O’Connor has not issued a statement.
