Bobulinski said Raskin and Goldman “continue to lie” to protect the Biden family, and Raskin interrupted him midway through the ruling.
“Congressman Dan Goldman and Jamie Raskin, both attorneys, and Mr. Goldman, a former SDNY prosecutor from New York, continue to lie today in this hearing and then go straight to the media. They will tell more lies,” Bobulinski said. “Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abby Lowell, is using letters to Congress as weapons to try to smear my name.”
“Mr. Chairman,” Ruskin interrupted.
“The cold truth is,” Bobulinski continued.
“Mr. Chairman,” Mr. Ruskin repeated.
“In an attempt to save his life, [Lowell’s] It created a strong bond between my client and his father,” Bobulinski added, ignoring the interruption. “I call on Mr. Lowell to make these claims on national television to hold him accountable for his lies.” (Related: Hunter Biden’s Chinese business associate listed Joe Biden’s address on two payments, House oversight reveals)
Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer apologized to the witnesses for the “disruption” and urged them to continue speaking.
“Well, Mr. Chairman, if you want to save me some time, he called a member of this committee a liar. I just want to know if it applies to you,” Raskin said. “Does it apply or not?”
“We have strict policies and there is civility among our members. We have asked for that. There is no word on witnesses that I am aware of,” Comer answered after a brief pause.
Kamel allowed Bobulinski to continue speaking after being interrupted for more than 10 seconds.
Bobulinski previously claimed that President Joe Biden had never discussed business with his son and lied about his involvement in his son’s business dealings. He previously said the Biden family tried to commit “fraud” against Hunter in 2022 during their partnership with him.

They planned to use Oneida Holdings to form a business partnership with China Energy Corporation (CEFC).

He claimed that the current president “enabled” lucrative deals between his son and Chinese Communist Party-affiliated energy companies, and that the Biden family “gained tens of millions of dollars in wealth” from those deals. he claimed.
Hunter maintained that the current president was never “financially involved” in any business arrangement. The then-presidential candidate falsely stated that his son had never profited from business dealings in China.
