Tony Bobulinski testified Wednesday during an impeachment inquiry hearing about his past business endeavors with Biden family members, calling some of them liars and saying he hoped to provide the “truth” about the family during the hearing.
Bobulinski said President Joe Biden was “a serial liar and fabulist now under this impeachment investigation for public corruption.” His brother James Biden is “a 75-year-old man who cannot keep his lies straight, including under oath,” Bobulinski said.
Bobulinski also said Joe Biden’s son Hunter “lied throughout” his testimony to Congress last month and committed “egregious perjury.”
Bobulinski, a Navy veteran, first engaged with Hunter Biden in 2015 about forming an entity with a Chinese energy conglomerate to take on investment projects in the United States and elsewhere. Bobulinski noted his “impeccable military record” and said he “worked hard to become independently wealthy.”
“I want to be crystal clear: from my direct personal experience and what I have subsequently come to learn, it is clear to me that Joe Biden was ‘the Brand’ being sold by the Biden family,” Bobulinski said. “His family’s foreign influence peddling operation — from China to Ukraine and elsewhere — sold out to foreign actors who were seeking to gain influence and access to Joe Biden and the United States government.”
Bobulinski said the president was “an active, aware enabler” of his family’s business pursuits, a claim Joe, James, and Hunter Biden have all repeatedly and adamantly denied.
Bobulinski noted that during Hunter Biden’s deposition with Congress last month, the first son was asked directly if his father had ever met with any of Hunter Biden’s business partners. The younger Biden replied, “No.”
Bobulinski said that was an example of perjury because he himself had met with Joe Biden in 2017.
“The sole reason Hunter wanted me to meet his father was because I was the CEO of Sinohawk, the Bidens’ partnership with CEFC [the Chinese energy conglomerate]. I was a business associate,” Bobulinski said.
Bobulinski has since 2020 been outspoken about his criticisms of the Biden family, saying Hunter and James Biden carefully maintained plausible deniability for Joe Biden as they promoted the Biden name to garner investments from foreign executives dishonestly by wielding Joe Biden’s political influence. But Biden family members and Democrats have dismissed Bobulinski as a disgruntled business partner who had been shut out of working with Hunter Biden because he was hotheaded.

Bobulinski is appearing as a witness Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee, where he will be questioned by Republicans and Democrats about his allegations against the Bidens. Former Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas and former Hunter Biden associate Jason Galanis, both convicted felons, are also appearing as witnesses. The hearing is expected to last several hours.
Oversight ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) called Bobulinski’s allegations “hazy” during his own opening statement and noted how Bobulinski’s initial press conference in 2020 about the Bidens was arranged by the Trump campaign.
