White House clarifies on Parkinson’s expert’s visit to Biden: ‘No’

​Amid reports that a Parkinson’s disease expert visited the White House and met President Joe Biden’s doctor in January, the White House Monday said the president is not being treated for Parkinson’s disease. The press briefing turned chaotic as press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked to give clear answer on the visit of the Parkinson’s specialist to which she strongly reacted and said she won’t be able to divulge any name of experts for privacy and security reasons. She said Biden had seen a neurologist three times — in three years — connected to Biden’s annual physical exams.
