Probe of Biden Raises New Questions About Who Was Running the Country

A stunning new report has reignited concerns about who was truly calling the shots during Joe Biden’s presidency. The study, conducted by the Oversight Project, a watchdog initiative within the conservative Heritage Foundation, found that nearly all of Biden’s official documents bore the same autopen-generated signature—a revelation that has raised alarms about the level of control he actually exercised in the Oval Office.

The Signature That Signed Itself

For years, questions swirled about Biden’s cognitive decline, but now, there is concrete evidence suggesting that his presidency may have been managed more by unelected bureaucrats than by the man elected to lead the nation. The Oversight Project’s findings revealed that every executive order and official document signed by Biden during his tenure contained an identical autopen signature—except for one: the letter announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race.

The implications are profound. “Whoever controlled the autopen controlled the presidency,” the Oversight Project posted on X (formerly Twitter), accompanied by photo comparisons of Biden’s consistent autopen usage.

Autopen machines replicate a person’s signature mechanically, raising questions about whether Biden was even aware of the orders issued under his name. Fox News Digital conducted its own investigation, randomly reviewing over 20 executive orders from 2021 to 2024, all of which contained the exact same machine-generated signature.

Speaker Johnson Sounds the Alarm

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) brought these concerns to the forefront earlier this year, recalling a troubling meeting with then-President Biden. According to Johnson, Biden had no recollection of signing an executive order that froze new liquid natural gas exports—a decision with major economic and national security implications.

“I walked out of that meeting with fear and loathing because I thought, ‘We are in serious trouble—who is running the country?’” Johnson said in an interview.

These concerns were echoed in a recent letter sent by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to the Department of Justice, demanding an investigation into whether unelected officials exploited Biden’s mental decline to push through radical policies without his knowledge or consent.

Biden’s Cognitive Decline: The Elephant in the Room

Biden’s mental fitness became a major issue in 2024, culminating in a disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump that sent shockwaves through both parties. Even longtime Democrat allies and liberal media figures, who had spent years downplaying concerns about Biden’s mental state, were forced to acknowledge reality.

Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into Biden’s mishandling of classified documents painted a damning picture, describing the former president as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” This assessment fueled bipartisan panic, leading to growing calls for Biden to step down before the election.

Who Pulled the Strings?

The Oversight Project’s latest findings add another layer to the Biden administration’s troubling legacy. The report suggests that a small group of insiders, including then-Vice President Kamala Harris and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, may have effectively run the government from behind the scenes.

A number of high-profile moments leading up to Biden’s withdrawal from the race support this theory. During a high-dollar fundraiser, former President Barack Obama was seen physically guiding Biden off the stage, a move that many interpreted as a sign of his diminishing autonomy. Similarly, during the G7 summit, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was spotted steering Biden back toward a group of world leaders after he wandered away.

Demanding Answers

With Biden now out of the race, conservatives are demanding transparency. Who controlled the autopen? Were major policy decisions made without Biden’s direct approval? And if so, who was truly running the country?

The Oversight Project is calling for a full-scale investigation to determine who authorized the use of the autopen and what safeguards, if any, were in place to ensure Biden’s direct involvement in major decisions.

“This is a knowable fact that can be determined with the correct legal process,” the group posted on X. “The American people deserve to know the truth.”

The issue is far from settled. If these findings hold up, they could represent one of the most significant political scandals in modern history—a revelation that an elected president may have been little more than a figurehead while unelected elites ran the country behind closed doors.

What Comes Next?

The Republican-led House is expected to launch hearings to uncover the full extent of Biden’s disengagement from the executive branch. GOP lawmakers, including Speaker Johnson and Attorney General Bailey, are already preparing subpoenas to determine who held the real power in Biden’s White House.

For now, one thing is certain: The American people deserve answers. The question remains—will they get them?
