The Democratic minority leader of the House Oversight Committee says the Biden family engaged in “character assassination” and leveled “false allegations” in connection with Tony Bobulinski’s testimony in President Biden’s impeachment inquiry. This was revealed by a lawyer for a former business associate. Wednesday.
In a scathing letter obtained by the Post to Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the Oversight Committee’s ranking member, attorney Stephen Passantino called Bobulinski’s testimony “abusive.” and a dishonest misunderstanding.”
“The assassination of Mr. Bobulinski’s character by a minority and the grotesque misinterpretation of his words have been a challenge to Mr. Bobulinski since he reluctantly came forward to share his facts with the public some four years ago. “It will only highlight the gaslighting and slander that has occurred in his business experience with the Biden family,” Passantino wrote.
“As the public will soon know, Mr. Bobulinski has the facts and receipts, and no amount of assassination will change that.”
Ruskin said on tuesday Bobulinski said in more than eight hours of testimony that he “did not present any evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden, nor did he present any evidence that President Biden was involved in any of his family’s business dealings.” .
Passantino called the Maryland Democratic Party’s claims “absolutely false” and insisted there was “no room for mischaracterization of this argument.”
Bobulinski’s attorney also disputed Raskin’s claim that his client “accused multiple FBI agents of lying.”
“The record shows that Mr. Bobulinski did not accuse the FBI of lying about the statement he voluntarily made before the FBI in October 2020,” Passantino wrote. “The record shows that when Mr. Bobulinski was asked by the minority about the passing of his words, rather than asking them directly, Mr. Bobulinski simply corrected an error in the FBI’s Internal Report 302 regarding his statements. It will reveal something.” –
“As Mr. Bobulinski testified yesterday, if Mr. Bobulinski had been shown an internal FBI brief, or if some government agency had contacted us at the time, these mistakes would have been made years ago. It may have been corrected.”
“Mr.” Bobulinski is defending his honor, reputation, and patriotism against all those who choose to distract from the truth by ignoring facts, publishing lies, and engaging in the assassination of class figures. will be vigorously defended,” Passantino added. “The truth is near, and those who choose to perpetuate a knowingly false narrative by dishonestly attacking Mr. Bobulinski will find themselves on the wrong side of history.”
Bobulinski, a former naval officer who collaborated with his eldest son Hunter Biden and eldest brother James on the CEFC China Energy business, is one of the biggest Republicans to solidify testimony linking the president to foreign deals. He is considered one of the most promising.
The House Oversight Committee, one of the three congressional committees handling the Biden impeachment inquiry, has not yet released the full transcript of Bobulinski’s testimony.
“Tony Bobulinski has made it clear under oath that Joe Biden is a ‘brand’ sold by the Biden family to enrich their families,” said Supervisory Board Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.). Ta. said on tuesdaycalled the former Biden business associate “his testimony unwavering.”
“Tony Bobulinski testified that he believes Joe Biden committed fraud and continues to lie to the American public about his participation in his family’s influence expansion scheme.”
Mr. Kamel also accused Democrats of yelling at, cutting, and belittling Mr. Bobulinski during his testimony and threatening the former naval officer.
