GOP's new impeachment witness sued his cancer-suffering father's charity: report

House Republicans have landed on a new witness for their hearings trying to justify impeachment of President Joe Biden: Tony Bobulinski, a former associate of the president's son Hunter Biden, whom they are trying to argue was laundering bribes to his father through international business deals. Bobulinski has confirmed he was copied on an infamous email in which a Biden associate called Joe Biden "the big guy" — which the GOP has taken to be evidence of his involvement in shady deals.

But Bobulinski may have some credibility issues, reported The Daily Beast — starting with his own history of suing his own family.

"It turns out Bobulinski has a history as a spiteful litigant, including suing his own cancer-stricken father, stepmother, and their esteemed local children’s charity for $900,000," reported Roger Sollenberger. "The dispute — in which Bobulinski claimed without any clear evidence that his parents and the charity had defrauded him of $25,000, and allegedly threatened to take their home (and, later, their car) — sparked months of family turmoil. He pursued the lawsuit for months after his father died, trying to secure a settlement with his stepmother, the charity, and his father’s estate. Settlement negotiations went unresolved, and Tony ultimately withdrew the matter without offering explanation, according to court records obtained by The Daily Beast."

"While Tony was trying to chisel money back from his dying father, and then his dad’s estate and widow, over what Virginia court records indicate was a misunderstanding about a $25,000 donation, he was simultaneously pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars of his own money — including in emergency loans — into a failing offshore U.S.-Chinese branding venture operating in the Cayman Islands," said the report. "At one point, Bobulinski forwarded that faltering business three $50,000 installments around the same time that he was trying to take his dead father’s van from his stepmother, according to court filings." According to the report, the China venture quickly failed, and Bobulinski has been in a seven-year legal battle to try to get that money back.

The GOP's first Biden impeachment hearing was widely panned as a disaster by observers, as their own witnesses failed to back up any of their efforts to tie Hunter Biden's dealings to the president.

As of now, even many conservative Republicans, like Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), have said there is currently no evidence to impeach Biden, and that the venture only seems to exist as a way of getting "revenge" for the impeachments against former President Donald Trump.
