WASHINGTON — A former Biden family business partner scorched President Biden in an explosive opening statement at a House impeachment inquiry deposition Tuesday, saying the commander-in-chief is corrupt and that his testimony will help prove it.
“The Biden family business was Joe Biden, period,” said Tony Bobulinski, a former Navy officer who worked alongside first son Hunter Biden and first brother James Biden on a venture with CEFC China Energy.
Bobulinski alleges he spoke twice with Joe Biden in May 2017 about the Chinese government-linked company — shortly after Biden left office as vice president.
A different former Biden family associate, Rob Walker, testified Jan. 26 that the Biden family’s business relationship with CEFC began as early as 2015 when Joe Biden was still vice president and that Joe Biden attended a meeting in early 2017 with CEFC chairman Ye Jianming, who has since gone missing in China amid corruption allegations.
