   EXCLUSIVE: Texas GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson, a former White House physician,   
   is calling for an end to the "cover-up" of President Biden's health after   
   the president's physical earlier this week claimed that he is healthy and   
   fit to serve as commander in chief.   
      
   "The majority of Americans can see that Biden's mental health is in total   
   decline, yet there is no transparency from the White House on what’s going   
   on, if anything, to address this issue and his inability to do his job,"   
   Jackson told Fox News Digital. "Yesterday's written physical exam report   
   released by Biden’s physician, Kevin O'Connor, further confirms that this   
   administration is still adamant about concealing the truth."   
      
   Jackson also took issue with the fact that the report from Biden's   
   physical, the second one he's taken since entering office, made no mention   
   of the president undergoing a cognitive test amid his "deteriorating   
   mental health."   
      
   "Nowhere in the report was there mention of Biden’s deteriorating mental   
   health," Jackson said. "This is alarming, considering I have already sent   
   three letters to the White House demanding that Biden receive a cognitive   
   test and that the results be made public, all of which have been ignored.   
   Everyone can see something is wrong — the cover-up needs to end."   
      
   EXCLUSIVE: READ THE PRIVATE EMAIL OBAMA SENT HIS FORMER DOC AFTER HE   
   QUESTIONED BIDEN'S COGNITIVE HEALTH   
      
   Jackson, who previously served as the White House physician to former   
   Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, faced criticism from Obama for   
   his critique of Biden's cognitive health on the 2020 campaign trail.   
      
   In his 2022 memoir, Jackson detailed a stern and "scathing" email he   
   received from Obama about comments he had made on Twitter about then-   
   presidential candidate Biden's mental state.   
      
   "I have made a point of not commenting on your service in my successor’s   
   administration and have always spoken highly of you both in public and in   
   private. You always served me and my family well, and I have considered   
   you not only a fine doctor and service member but also a friend," Obama   
   wrote in the email to Jackson.   
      
   "That’s why I have to express my disappointment at the cheap shot you took   
   at Joe Biden via Twitter. It was unprofessional and beneath the office   
   that you once held. It was also disrespectful to me and the many friends   
   you had in our administration. You were the personal physician to the   
   President of the United States as well as an admiral in the U.S. Navy. I   
   expect better, and I hope upon reflection that you will expect more of   
   yourself in the future," Obama added in his message to Jackson.   
      
   WHITE HOUSE DOCTOR SAYS BIDEN 'FIT TO SERVE' AS PRESIDENT: 'HEALTHY,   
   VIGOROUS, 80-YEAR-OLD'   
      
   In a memo released Thursday, White House physician Kevin O'Connor, a   
   retired Army colonel who has served in the role since January 2021, wrote:   
   "President Biden remains a healthy, vigorous 80-year-old male who is fit   
   to successfully execute the duties of the presidency."   
      
   One lesion was discovered on Biden's chest and removed, according to the   
   report, and the president still experiences a stiff gait, but it hasn't   
   worsened since last year.   
      
   Biden continues to experience symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux,   
   primarily having to clear his throat more often, mostly after meals, the   
   report said. O'Connor said the reflux is the source of Biden's throat   
   clearing and coughing.   
      
   O'Connor noted that the main medical event for Biden in the past year was   
   his upper respiratory infection from COVID-19 last summer. He said that   
   Biden's oxygen levels never fell below 97%.   
      
   The results come as the president faces questions about his age amid   
   speculation that he will seek re-election in 2024, though he has not yet   
   announced his official decision.   
      
   Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley took aim at the president,   
   as well as his predecessor, former President Trump, on Wednesday, saying   
   that politicians over the age of 75 should have to take a mental cognitive   
   test before assuming office.   
      
   In 2021, Biden was evaluated by O'Connor, who wrote at the time that the   
   president "remains a healthy, vigorous, 78-year-old male, who is fit to   
   successfully execute the duties of the Presidency."
