Tony Bobulinski, a former business partner of the Biden family, provided compelling testimony to the House impeachment inquiry, implicating Joe Biden in a business scheme that purportedly compromised the then-vice president through dealings with CEFC China Energy Co., a company linked to the Chinese Communist Party. Bobulinski’s account is particularly noteworthy as he personally met Joe Biden in May 2017 to discuss the business venture with CEFC, illustrating the direct involvement of “the Brand” – as Joe Biden was referred to in the dealings – in the Biden family’s foreign business operations.
Bobulinski’s revelations include his confirmation of a message that implied Joe Biden, referred to as “the big guy,” was to hold a 10% stake for his involvement with CEFC. This message and Bobulinski’s testimony underline the strategic use of Joe Biden’s high office to facilitate lucrative international business transactions, specifically with entities seeking to gain influence within the U.S. government.
The testimony sheds light on the extensive financial engagements between the Biden family and CEFC, revealing a pattern of influence peddling that spanned various countries. Bobulinski accuses Joe Biden of enabling his son Hunter to “sell access” to the United States’ adversaries, highlighting the potential national security implications of such dealings.
Bobulinski also criticizes the lack of law enforcement interest in his evidence, despite voluntarily providing detailed accounts and documentation to the FBI. His claims suggest a systemic unwillingness to pursue investigations into the Biden family’s business dealings, raising questions about the impartiality and effectiveness of the legal and investigative processes concerning high-profile political figures.
The inquiry into the Biden family’s business transactions, spearheaded by House investigators, aims to unravel the extent of Joe Biden’s involvement and the potential conflicts of interest that may have arisen from his family’s financial engagements with foreign entities. Bobulinski’s testimony, supported by documents and personal interactions, offers a crucial insight into the dynamics of the Biden family’s business operations and their implications for U.S. governance and national security.
