A former Biden family business associate, Tony Bobulinski, made unproven allegations against President Joe Biden in a House interview, claiming Biden was deeply involved in his family’s overseas business deals.
However, his claims remain uncorroborated and have been undercut by other witnesses.
“Joe Biden was more than a participant in and beneficiary of his family’s business; he was an enabler, despite being buffered by a complex scheme to maintain plausible deniability,” Bobulinski said.
Bobulinski mentioned a lucrative proposed deal with a Chinese energy conglomerate and alleged that Joe Biden’s high office facilitated multi-million-dollar business deals for his son and brother.
“We will soon release the transcript to provide the American people with transparency about Joe Biden’s involvement in his family’s shady schemes and Democrats’ efforts to smear Mr. Bobulinski for blowing the whistle,” James Comer said.
Republicans have seized on an email from 2017 discussing an equity arrangement for a Chinese deal, suggesting a 10% stake held by Hunter Biden for his father, Joe Biden.
Despite Bobulinski providing information to the FBI, federal prosecutors have not cited his materials in the tax indictment filed against Hunter Biden, casting doubt on the claims about the Biden family’s alleged influence-peddling schemes.
“He had two encounters with President Biden in back-to-back days in May of 2017 that seemed extremely casual,” Rep. Jamie Raskin said. “They could not be described as meetings. And by his own account, they did not involve discussion of Joe Biden and business. So, this is then a witness who I think can be charitably described as out of control.”
“He offers absolutely no testimony that indicates any criminal activity by President Biden. He offers no suggestion or evidence that President Biden was involved in Hunter Biden’s businesses,” Raskin added.
Bobulinski’s credibility has been questioned by Democrats, and another business associate poured cold water on his claims, calling them “dumbfounded” and “nonsensical.”
“I think he had come to realize that Hunter had moved on without him and he was probably a little pissed also,” witness Rob Walker said, “So that probably added a little fuel to Tony’s fire.”
“I thought it was ridiculous that he was going to be – he was going to say something and that made no sense and was stupid and was just going to embarrass everybody,” Walker said.
“Pick a side,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett said. “Either he is a criminal mastermind or he is old and feeble. Or it’s neither one of them.”
