Biden’s doctor releases letter justifying why Parkinson’s expert made repeated visits to White House

That letter was shared by Kelly O'Donnell, of the press corps. In it, O'Connor offered an explanation as to why Dr. Kevin Cannard visited the White House. He said that while the names of specialists are not usually released, in this case it because necessary "in the interests of accuracy," and that he'd "obtained permission" both from Biden and Cannard to do so.
