White House Confirms Biden Saw Neurologist Amid Questions Over Parkinson's Specialist's 10 Visits Since 2023

White House visitor logs reveal that Dr. Kevin Cannard, a Parkinson's disease specialist from Walter Reed Medical Center, has visited the White House at least ten times since August 2023. These visits have raised questions about President Joe Biden's health, particularly whether he is being treated for Parkinson's disease. During a heated press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that President Biden has seen a neurologist three times but denied that he is being treated for Parkinson's or any other neurological diseases. The press briefing saw multiple reporters pressing Jean-Pierre for more details, which she declined to provide, citing security reasons. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the legitimacy of Biden's medical records, as Dr. Cannard is also a donor to Biden's campaign. One notable visit occurred on January 17th, involving Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden's personal physician.
