Obama WH physician says Biden doc should have performed cognitive test

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Former President Barack Obama’s White House physician said in a new interview that former President Joe Biden’s doctor should have performed a cognitive test to evaluate his fitness to serve in office.
Obama’s doctor, Jeffrey Kuhlman, told The Washington Post that Biden White House physician Kevin O’Connor should have performed a cognitive test during Biden’s last year as president, given his age.
O’Connor, who Kuhlman first appointed as Biden’s doctor in 2009 when he was vice president, declared in a 2024 report that the then-81-year-old president «continues to be fit for duty.» The report did not mention any neurocognitive testing.
«Sometimes those closest to the tree miss the forest,» Kuhlman told the Post.
«It shouldn’t be just health, it should be fitness,» Kuhlman said. «Fitness is: Do you have that robust mind, body, spirit that you can do this physically, mentally, emotionally demanding job?»
TRUMP RESPONDS TO BIDEN DISMISSAL OF AUTOPEN PROBE, SAYS HE DIDN’T KNOW ‘WHAT WAS GOING ON’

Kuhlman, who departed the White House Medical Unit in 2013, described O’Connor as «a good doctor» who appeared to do his best to «give trusted medical advice.»
«I didn’t see that he’s purposely hiding stuff, but I don’t know that,» Kuhlman told the Post. «Maybe the investigation will show it.»
President Donald Trump on Wednesday ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate whether Biden’s aides «abused the power of Presidential signatures through the use of an autopen to conceal Biden’s cognitive decline and assert Article II authority.»
«This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history,» the order says. «The American public was purposefully shielded from discovering who wielded the executive power, all while Biden’s signature was deployed across thousands of documents to effect radical policy shifts.»
«Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency,» Biden said in a statement Wednesday night. «I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false.»
Trump’s order appeared to nod to the findings of special counsel Robert Hur, who investigated Biden’s handling of classified documents while he was vice president.
In a report released in February 2024, Hur concluded Biden «willfully retained and disclosed» sensitive materials but should not stand trial, describing the president as a «sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.» Hur cited instances when Biden could not recall key dates and events, including when he served as vice president and when his son, Beau, passed away. The report was released at a time when Biden was still planning a second term run.
Last week, House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., issued a subpoena for O’Connor to appear for a deposition at the end of the month «as part of the investigation into the cover-up of President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and potentially unauthorized issuance of sweeping pardons and other executive actions.»

BIDEN’S PERSONAL DOCTOR SUMMONED AS REPUBLICANS DIG DEEPER INTO ALLEGED COGNITIVE DECLINE COVER-UP
The committee re-posted the Post’s interview with Kuhlman to X, writing, «Even Obama’s doctor admits the truth. This is precisely why Chairman @RepJamesComer subpoenaed Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s physician. This is a scandal of historical proportions, and we will investigate it thoroughly!»
In a letter to O’Connor, Comer said the transcribed interview would focus on the physician’s February 2024 assessment that Biden was «a healthy, active, robust 81-year-old male, who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency.»
«Among other subjects, the Committee expressed its interest in whether your financial relationship with the Biden family affected your assessment of former President Biden’s physical and mental fitness to fulfill his duties as President,» Comer wrote.
Questions about Biden’s cognitive state stretch extend solely past Republicans.
CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson recently published a book titled «Original Sin,» which details concerns and debates inside the White House and Democratic Party over Biden’s mental state and age.
In the book, Tapper and Thompson wrote, «Five people were running the country, and Joe Biden was at best a senior member of the board.»

Naomi Biden, the former president’s granddaughter, dismissed the book as «political fairy smut for the permanent, professional chattering class.»

Comer requested transcribed interviews with Biden’s White House senior advisers Mike Donilon and Anita Dunn, former White House chief of staff Ron Klain, former deputy chief of staff Bruce Reed and Steve Ricchetti, a former counselor to the president. He also called for former senior White House aides Annie Tomasini, Anthony Bernal, Ashley Williams and Neera Tanden to appear before the committee and suggested subpoenas could be forthcoming if they did not schedule voluntary interviews.

List of countries taking in illegal immigrant deportees grows with latest African partners

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump’s mass deportation efforts gained new momentum this week when Rwanda signed a formal third-country agreement, part of a broader push to partner with nations willing to accept deportees whose home countries refuse to take them back or present other barriers.
RWANDA
Officials in Rwanda agreed to take in 250 illegal immigrants in a deal forged with the State Department Tuesday, joining nearly a half-dozen other nations that have done the same.
When the talks between Washington and Kigali began earlier this year, Rwandan Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe said the idea is not new to his country, as it previously forged a similar deal with the United Kingdom that was nixed by a London court.
Illegal immigrants deported from the U.S. will be given help to get back on their feet, according to a spokesperson for Rwandan President Paul Kagame.
They will need to be individually approved for resettlement and then receive «workforce training, healthcare and accommodation to jump-start their lives in Rwanda,» the spokeswoman, Yolande Makolo, told the BBC.

ESWATINI/SWAZILAND
In another African nation, Eswatini, named Swaziland until 2018, five foreign nationals were deported from the U.S. to Mbabane in July.
But that operation reportedly lacked the same formal third-country agreement as Rwanda.
The tiny landlocked country, the last absolute monarchy on the continent, abuts Mozambique and South Africa.
The deported men were all convicted of crimes ranging from battery to murder to gang activity and methamphetamine-related offenses.
«This flight took individuals so uniquely barbaric that their home countries refused to take them back,» DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
«These depraved monsters have been terrorizing American communities, but thanks to [Trump and Secretary Kristi Noem] they are off of American soil.»
The convicts hailed from Vietnam, Jamaica, Laos, Cuba and Yemen.
A spokesman for King Mswati III, who has ruled Eswatini since 1986, told the BBC Eswatini hopes to «facilitate» returning the criminals to their homelands.
SOUTH SUDAN
South Sudan also received eight deportees in July.
Boston federal Judge Brian Murphy issued a preliminary injunction blocking Sudanese deportations and others, ruling migrants needed opportunities to file for protection under a U.S. diplomatic Convention Against Torture (CAT) that precludes expatriation to dangerous countries.
The Supreme Court later stayed Murphy’s ruling.
EUROPEAN NATION AGREES TO ‘TEMPORARILY’ HOST DEPORTED IMMIGRANTS FROM US AMID TRUMP PUSH
COSTA RICA
In February, Costa Rica agreed to accept 200 deported migrants, which included some foreign nationals from India, according to VisaVerge. That nation’s law allows temporary migrant sheltering.
The government in San Jose also reportedly forged a $7.8 million deal in which the U.S. would help it deport immigrants, according to Reuters. The wire service further confirmed the February report.
PANAMA
Also in February, Panama’s foreign ministry told CBS News its first flight of about 200 non-Panamanian deportees arrived from the U.S. under another agreement forged with Washington.
The U.S. will cover the cost of those deportations, which included migrants of mostly Asian descent, from countries like China, Uzbekistan, Nepal, India and Vietnam. Migrants from as far afield as Cameroon and Iran were also reportedly among the group.
EL SALVADOR
The most visible country to aid in deportation efforts has been El Salvador, where congressional Democrats flew after a suspected human trafficker living in Maryland was deported to its infamous CECOT prison.

Democrats like Hunter Biden have called out the Trump administration for the effort, which has been met by incredulous responses, such as a retort from Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele.
Bukele poked fun at Biden’s past drug use in response, asking on X if he was «sniffing powdered milk» when the former first son claimed he would threaten to invade El Salvador if he were elected president and if it refused to return deportees.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., was the first to fly to San Salvador to visit Garcia, a trip that appeared to inspire more Democrats to go and others to attempt to gain entry into domestic ICE sites in Newark, Baltimore and New York City.

La historia detrás del imbatible récord que Jonathan Edwards mantiene vigente después de 30 años

El 7 de agosto de 1995, el estadio Ullevi en Gotemburgo, Suecia, fue testigo de un momento que marcó un antes y un después en el atletismo. Durante el Campeonato Mundial de Atletismo, Jonathan Edwards, representante de Gran Bretaña, desafió los límites de la disciplina al lograr un salto de 18,29 metros en la prueba de triple salto masculino. Este logro no solo le otorgó la medalla de oro, sino que lo enalteció como protagonista de una de las gestas más impresionantes y perdurables del deporte mundial.
El desarrollo de la prueba fue vertiginoso. En su primer intento, Edwards rompió la barrera simbólica de los 18 metros, transformándose en el primer atleta masculino en lograrlo dentro de una competencia oficial. La hazaña no se detuvo allí; en su segundo salto, extendió su propio récord, aterrizando a 18,29 metros, estableciendo una distancia que ningún rival pudo aproximar. El principal contendiente, Brian Wellman de Bermudas, quedó relegado a más de medio metro por detrás, un margen inédito en una final de este nivel.
La superioridad de Edwards quedó consolidada con su tercer intento de 17,49 metros, que si bien fue inferior a los dos anteriores, bastó para sellar su dominio y asegurar la medalla dorada.
La magnitud de la marca alcanzada por Edwards se evidenció en la reacción tanto del público como del propio protagonista, que no tardó en mostrar sorpresa y satisfacción tras observar el resultado en la pantalla gigante del estadio. “Pensé que fácilmente podría no ganar”, recordó en declaraciones levantadas por CNN. Y agregó: “Tenía la posibilidad de no ganar, y eso sería un desastre, a pesar de haber saltado tan bien durante todo el año”.
En las entrevistas posteriores, transmitió su alegría por haber logrado algo que ningún otro hombre había hecho antes: superar y mejorar la marca histórica del triple salto. Lejos de considerarse una figura poderosa dentro del atletismo, resaltó sus características físicas poco convencionales —piernas delgadas y escasa contextura muscular— como elementos que hacían aún más sorprendente su éxito. Para él, la experiencia de convertirse en el mejor del mundo se tornó excepcional, tanto en términos deportivos como personales.
Además, el récord redefinió la competición en Gotemburgo: tras los dos saltos exitosos de Edwards, la lucha por el oro quedó prácticamente resuelta, enfocando la atención global en el alcance de la marca en sí.

Desde 1995, ningún otro atleta consiguió superar el registro de 18,29 metros, lo que confiere al salto de Edwards un estatus especial dentro del atletismo de élite. En treinta años, la marca se ha convertido en una referencia histórica y, según los especialistas citados por CNN, representa uno de los récords más sólidos de la era moderna.
En términos comparativos, solo dos récords masculinos en pruebas de campo han mostrado una vigencia similar o mayor: el de Mike Powell en salto de longitud (8,95 metros alcanzados en 1991) y el de Javier Sotomayor en salto de altura (2,45 metros logrados en 1993).

El propio Edwards atribuye su éxito a una combinación única de velocidad y ligereza, poco habitual en un deporte que, con el paso de los años, ha tendido a priorizar la potencia muscular sobre las cualidades aerodinámicas y la velocidad de carrera.
Mientras la mayoría de los competidores más recientes presentan una complexión más robusta, Edwards destaca que su método remitía a una suerte de “rebote” más que a un salto tradicional, permitiéndole mantener una velocidad máxima durante las distintas fases del salto, algo que pocos han logrado replicar. En su análisis, el predominio actual de saltadores más potentes física y muscularmente ha hecho que la técnica rápida y fluida que él supo explotar resulte menos frecuente y, en la práctica, casi inalcanzable.

Edwards destacó no solo por su rendimiento deportivo, sino también por la singularidad de su trayectoria personal y motivacional. Su impulso inicial hacia el deporte profesional se cimentó más en convicciones personales que en ambiciones estrictamente deportivas. La fe cristiana jugó un papel decisivo durante sus primeros años, otorgando sentido a su carrera y brindando una perspectiva que le permitió afrontar la presión de la alta competencia desde una dimensión espiritual.
El entorno familiar, en particular su padre —vicario de la Iglesia de Inglaterra—, lo animó a identificar y potenciar el talento recibido, bajo una ética de responsabilidad y aprovechamiento de los dones personales. Esta actitud forjó una resiliencia notable, que le permitió sobrellevar la exigencia de una disciplina tan compleja como el triple salto.
Su expresión más memorable fuera de la pista se produjo en Lille, Francia, en 1995, donde realizó un salto no oficial de 18,43 metros que, si bien superaba su propio récord, fue invalidado por las condiciones de viento. Ese momento, más allá de la validación oficial, representó el cenit técnico de su carrera, y subrayó que alcanzar la perfección en esta disciplina depende de múltiples elementos que rara vez coinciden.
