Hunter Biden’s business partner who has since turned on him, Tony Bobulinski, says Joe Biden was the “enabler” of his family’s lucrative foreign business deals.
He plans to tell Republicans leading the impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden today that the president “enabled” deals with China and other foreign adversaries, according to his opening statement obtained by DailyMail.com.
“I want to be crystal clear: From my direct personal experience and what I have subsequently learned, it is clear to me that Joe Biden was ‘the brand’ sold by the Biden family,” he said in his opening statement.
He says Joe was “more than a participant” in the family business, but rather “a facilitator, despite being buffered by a complex scheme to keep deniability plausible.”
Bobulinski will appear before impeachment investigators from the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees today in a deposition expected to last most of the day.
“The Biden family business was Joe Biden, period,” DailyMail.com has learned he will say. In addition, he plans to detail how the Chinese energy company CEFC “successfully tried to infiltrate and compromise” the Obama-Biden White House.
Bobulinski, a Navy veteran, teamed up with Hunter Biden and his uncle Jim — Joe’s brother — in 2017 to create the SinoHawk Holdings joint venture with CEFC.

Joe Biden, who was seen with his son Hunter in June, has always maintained he was not involved in Hunter’s business dealings
In 2020, Bobulinski published a May 2017 email detailing a proposed stock split for a Chinese investment.
The cryptic message said 20 percent of the profits would be distributed, with 10 percent going to “Jim” — likely Hunter’s uncle Jim Biden, and “10 owned by H for the big man.”
Bobulinski claimed that “the big man” was Joe Biden, who served as vice president until January 2017.
He will also tell impeachment investigators that “it is also no coincidence” that CEFC used the “weakest link” of the Biden family, Hunter, to funnel tens of millions of dollars.
Bobulinski previously claimed the FBI ignored evidence about the Biden family’s alleged crimes and “altered history” by suppressing Hunter Biden’s laptop story before the 2020 election.
In a stunning 2022 interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Bobulinski brought up a voicemail that he said proves Joe was well aware of Hunter’s deal with CEFC.
Joe Biden called Hunter in December 2018 and said he wanted to talk to him after reading a New York Times story about Hunter’s dealings with Chinese oil giant CEFC.
Files on Hunter’s abandoned laptop previously revealed by DailyMail.com show he struck a deal with the Chinese company worth millions of dollars.
The Times’ 2018 story pointed out that CEFC chairman Ye Jianming had been arrested in China and his lieutenant Patrick Ho had been convicted of bribery.
After seeing the story online, Joe Hunter called and left a voicemail saying he was “free.”
‘I liked the article published online, which will appear in the Times tomorrow. I think you’re clear,” Joe said in the voicemail.
The message runs counter to the president’s repeated denials that Joe ever discussed or was involved in Hunter’s foreign business dealings.
Hunter’s attorney Abbe Lowell has claimed that Bobulinski lied to the FBI.
Late last year, Hunter asked U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. Matthew Greaves to investigate his former associate, saying Bobulinski had deliberately mischaracterized his ties to the Biden family.
He is accused of acting to “defame the character and reputation of (Hunter) Biden and his family, and to enhance his own self-esteem.”

IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, who have testified that the federal investigation into Hunter was tainted by political influence, also claimed that Joe Biden was “the big guy.”
Next week, Republicans will hear from President Joe Biden’s brother James on February 21 and Hunter himself on February 28.
Republicans subpoenaed the pair for testimony and threatened them with contempt charges before they agreed to come in for closed-door testimony.
