CNN —President Joe Biden saw a neurologist at the White House in January as part of his annual physical, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a new statement Tuesday evening, correcting her comment from earlier in the day that the specialist’s visit earlier this year had not been related to the president.
“It was one of the three times the President has seen Dr. Cannard, each time for his physical.
The findings from each exam have been released to the public.”Jean-Pierre had been asked in Tuesday’s White House press briefing whether neurologist Dr. Kevin Cannard’s meeting with the president’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, on January 17 was “related to care for the president himself.” (CNN previously confirmed via White House visitors’ logs that the two men had met in January at the White House.)
Cannard was listed on the White House visitors logs multiple times over the past year, but only once – in January – shown to have met with O’Connor.
The reason for that particular visit had been a focus of multiple questions in Monday’s White House press briefing.
