Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) is initiating a congressional probe into former President Joe Biden’s health during his time in office, according to an Axios report.
The move follows recent revelations about Biden’s aggressive metastatic prostate cancer diagnosis and allegations of a White House cover-up regarding his declining health while president.
Senator Johnson informed Axios that he intends to dispatch letters as early as Wednesday evening to “a couple dozen people” believed to have had “direct contact” with the former president, seeking information pertinent to his health. “We have to. I mean, who was running the government?” Johnson stated to the outlet.

This investigation marks a continued focus by Republican lawmakers on the health and fitness of the former president. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform previously announced an investigation on May 16 into allegations that former President Biden used an autopen to sign documents during his presidency.
Representative James Comer (R-KY), Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, has been vocal about his concerns regarding Biden’s health while in office.
Comer asserted that “legacy media ‘gaslit’ the American people into thinking Biden could properly and healthily lead the nation.”
“The American people deserve to know who was actually calling the shots in the Biden White House, because it wasn’t Joe Biden. His mental decline was obvious to anyone paying attention,” Comer said. “But instead of being honest, the Biden Administration, Democrats in Congress, and the legacy media lied and covered it up. They gaslit the American people while propping up a man who was unfit to lead. This is one of the greatest scandals of our generation, and Americans are demanding answers.”

The investigations by both the Senate and House committees indicate a concerted effort by Republicans to delve into the fitness of former President Biden to hold office.
