Tony Bobulinski, who worked with Hunter Biden before exposing what he called a massive influence-peddling scheme involving President Joe Biden, made the remarks during his opening statement to the House Oversight and Accountability Committee.

He also testified that “Joe BidenMembers of Biden’s immediate family “enriched themselves to the tune of tens of millions of dollars” by doing business with shady counterparts, including some based in adversary countries, during and after Biden’s eight years as vice president. -president.
“The Chinese Communist Party, through its surrogate, China Energy Company Limited, or “CEFC” – a Chinese energy conglomerate linked to the CCP – successfully sought to infiltrate and compromise Joe Biden and the Obama-Biden White House . » Bobulinski said House investigators, according to a transcript of his opening statement.
“I want to be very clear: from my direct personal experience and what I subsequently learned, it is clear to me that Joe Biden was ‘the brand’ being sold by the Biden family,” he said. said, adding: “Joe Biden was more than a participant and beneficiary of the family business; he was an enabler, even though he was protected by an elaborate scheme to maintain plausible deniability.

Walker characterized Biden’s presence at the lunch as innocuous and the fact that a company linked to CEFC China Energy made the payment afterward as a coincidence.
“Joe Biden knew about the CEFC transaction, permitted it and had a constitutional responsibility and obligation to the American people to shut it down before it began,” Bobulinski said in his opening statement Tuesday.
Walker testified Jan. 26 that his LLC later paid about $1 million of the $3 million it received from the CEFC-related energy company to Hunter Biden, his uncle James Biden and Hallie Biden, the widow of other son of the president, Beau, who died in 2015.
