The Facts

Hunter Biden has reportedly asked a top federal prosecutor to investigate Tony Bobulinski on claims that he lied to the FBI about their relationship, as his former business associate has repeatedly stated that one-tenth of a business deal involving a Chinese company and its executive Ye Jianming was reserved for Pres. Joe Biden.
According to a copy of a letter obtained by NBC News, his lawyer, Abbe Lowell, stated that he recently received information indicating that Bobulinski made several false statements concerning Hunter Biden in an interview with the FBI in October 2020.

The Spin

Democratic narrative

For three years, Republicans have been screeching from the rooftops, making absurd claims and parroting conspiracy theories about Hunter Biden. Despite non-stop coverage and claims of direct evidence that implicates Joe Biden in a foreign money laundering scheme, the GOP has nothing to show for it. All Republicans have is shaky testimony from Tony Bobulinski, who didn’t even work that closely with Biden. Bobulinski has no credibility, and the obsession with Hunter Biden is meritless.

Republican narrative

There's so much smoke surrounding the business dealings of Hunter Biden and his father that it's impossible to maintain that the Biden family hasn’t engaged in nefarious dealings with foreign entities. While the media covers up the Hunter Biden laptop story and smears Tony Bobulinski’s credibility, the evidence remains clear that Hunter was always looking out for the “big guy.” Countless messages show the depth of the Bidens’ corruption, and sworn testimony from a business associate should be taken seriously.
