Bobulinski attorney rips Raskin over move to ‘smear and defame’ client

Just The News Header

He went on to suggest Raskin join him in calling for a live hearing with Bobulinski before the committee to address the points of dispute.

An attorney for ex-Hunter Biden associate Tony Bobulinski is livid with Democratic Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin over claims his client did not provide evidence linking President Joe Biden to his family’s business dealings or of wrongdoing by the president himself.

Bobulinskiย testified last weekย before the House Oversight Committee in a closed-door hearing in which he addressed his own dealings with the Biden family and his prior meetings with the then-vice president. Bobulinski worked with now-first son Hunter Biden on a joint venture with CEFC China Energy in 2017 but was cut out of the deal later on.

Writing to Raskin, attorney Stefan Passantino excoriated the Oversight Committee’s ranking member overย correspondence obtainedย by ABC News addressing the testimony.

File: Bobulinski-Raskin letter

“I am in receipt of your correspondence of February 20, 2024, which appears to have been shared with ABC News in an attempt to smear and defame my client before it was transmitted to me,” he wrote. “In his opening statement, my client Tony Bobulinski implored the members of the House Oversight Committee and the Committee on the Judiciary to set aside their partisan identities for one brief moment to focus on the facts Mr. Bobulinski is called upon to provide. You and your colleagues are utterly failing that test, failing to meet the moment, and failing the American people.”

“…I am shocked and disgusted that you or anyone else would question his motives, patriotism or sincerity when you dishonestly assert that Mr. Bobulinski ‘did not offer any evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden’ or ‘provide any evidence that President Biden was involved in his familyโ€™s business dealings,'” Passantino went on. “You know this is false – and the American people can see for themselves that your allegations are false now that the transcript of Mr. Bobulinskiโ€™s testimony has been released by the House Oversight Committee and the Committee on the Judiciary[.]”
