Former White House Physician Highlights Oversight in Congressional Investigations

In a recent interview with the Daily Caller, Republican Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson, a former White House physician, expressed concerns about a significant omission in the ongoing congressional investigations. Focused on the probes into alleged concealment of President Biden’s mental decline and autopen usage, Jackson pinpointed the lack of attention to a crucial White House position.

The Importance of the Staff Secretary

Jackson emphasized the importance of scrutinizing the White House staff secretary, a role pivotal in managing all documents entering and exiting the Oval Office, including those bearing the president’s signature. “The staff secretary handles every piece of paper that goes in and out of the Oval Office and everything that has the president’s signature on it,” Jackson noted, expressing surprise that this role was not initially included in the list of witnesses by House Oversight Chairman James Comer.

Highlighting his intentions, Jackson stated, “So I plan to suggest that the staff secretary be included in the witnesses that show up on the House side.” Currently, Neera Tanden, the former White House staff secretary and senior advisor, has been requested for a transcribed interview by Comer, but Stefanie Feldman, another individual who held the role, has yet to be subpoenaed or asked to testify.

Intervention by Senior Advisers in Medical Oversights

When questioned about interference by senior advisers in the medical supervision of the president, Jackson shared his experience from his tenure serving Presidents Obama and Trump. He recounted instances of overreach by senior staff, typically the chief of staff, into the president’s health care, which he deemed inappropriate but noted was unfortunately “normal”.

Jackson explained the delicate balance required in his role, “You have a responsibility to take care of the president, and you have a responsibility to the office of the president. If the president is completely incapable of doing his job and he’s not physically or mentally fit to be president of the United States, you cannot lie to the American people and tell them that he is fit for duty, which is what Dr. O’Connor repeatedly did.”

Furthermore, Jackson suggested the importance of involving the first lady in such matters, “She’s the first person I’d approach. As part of the family, I’d talk to her and say, ‘Look, we have a problem here.’”

The formative insights and suggestions from Rep. Ronny Jackson pinpoint significant areas that may warrant further investigation and highlight the complexity of managing presidential health and related communications within the White House.
