Washington, The White House clashed with reporters on Monday because a Parkinson's specialist visited the building eight times in eight months, as reflected in the visitor log.
"I feel a little upset here about how he has shared information with the press," a reporter asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre during her daily press briefing.
The White House visitor log suggests that Dr. Kevin Cannard, a Parkinson's specialist, visited the building eight times in eight months.
Journalists wanted to know if President Joe Biden was treated by the Parkinson's specialist.
"No matter how hard you push me, no matter how angry you get with me, I'm not going to confirm a name. It doesn't matter if it's even on the record. I'm not going to do that." From here what I can share with you is that the president has visited a neurologist for his physical examination three times," Jean-Pierre told reporters.
"It's more than what the last guy shared and it's in line with what George W. Bush did. It's in line with what (Barack) Obama did. And that's why it's comprehensive. It's out there...
"I'm not going to transfer anyone's name or confirm anyone. I'm not going to do that. I mean, like privacy for that person. I'm not going to do that. No matter how much they pressure me." "No matter how angry you are with me from here, I'm just not going to do that, it's inappropriate and it's not acceptable, so I'm not going to do it," Jean-Pierre said.
Biden, he said, has visited a neurologist three times.
"There are no findings that are consistent with any cerebellar disorders or other central neurological disorders such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's or ascending lateral sclerosis occurring from February onwards," he added.
"That is what the medical unit shared, the president's doctor and I shared it, I told them that it has happened three times each time. There is a physical examination that is given and we get a complete report, that is when he has been able to see. ...see a specialist, so that's what I can share," said Jean-Pierre.
