Did Jill Biden secretly run the White House while President Biden’s team covered for his decline? One Democrat insider just blew the lid off what she calls a “puppet presidency.”
In a stunning interview with Fox News Digital, a former Democratic National Committee (DNC) fundraiser and National Finance Committee member — known only as “Li” — shared explosive allegations about the Biden White House.
“There were puppet masters behind Joe. Jill Biden was one of them — and she knew exactly what she was doing,” Li said.
“What Jill Did Was Elder Abuse” — Shocking Accusation from a Democrat Insider
Li claims she had a “front-row seat” to the Biden presidency and directly witnessed how First Lady Jill Biden and key staffers quietly took control behind the scenes.
“Joe wasn’t up for the job. Jill stepped in, not to help, but to control,” she stated.
“What she did was absolutely elder abuse. No question in my mind.”
Why Did Biden Run Again? Li Says It Was Jill and Hunter
According to Li, two people pushed Biden to seek a second term — and neither of them worked in the West Wing.
“If I had to name two reasons Biden ran again: Jill’s ego and Hunter’s legal problems,” she said.
Li also revealed that Jill frequently stepped in for Joe during campaign events, public appearances, and magazine shoots.
“Joe couldn’t do many events. Jill came out acting like the president. That’s why she graced Vogue three times — she loved the spotlight.”
“They Deny the Cover-Up — I Watched It Happen”
Li described a powerful inner circle inside the White House, composed of senior officials who allegedly made major decisions while Biden faded into the background.
She named names:
-
Anthony Bernal
-
Bruce Reed
-
Steve Ricchetti
-
Mike Donilon
-
Anita Dunn
“Anthony Bernal acted like a king. I saw him run the White House as if Biden didn’t exist,” she said.
Congress Investigating the “Shadow Presidency”
The House Oversight Committee, led by Rep. James Comer (R-KY), is currently investigating these claims. The committee recently subpoenaed Bernal, a longtime Jill Biden advisor, for refusing to testify about his role.
In addition, Li claimed that Neera Tanden, former domestic policy advisor, helped use the presidential autopen during moments when Biden allegedly couldn’t perform his duties.
“Biden was manifestly unqualified,” Li said. “Tanden made sure paperwork still went out — whether Biden was aware or not.”
More Whistleblowers May Come Forward
While the White House denies all wrongdoing, Republicans on the committee suggest this is just the beginning. They believe the evidence points to a widespread cover-up of Biden’s mental decline, coordinated by close family members and longtime loyalists.
With insiders like Li stepping forward, the case is gaining steam — and the political fallout could reshape 2025’s election landscape.
