GOP's 'star' impeachment witness Tony Bobulinski sues Dem lawmaker for defamation

Former Biden family business partner Tony Bobulinski made good on his warning from last month where he said he planned to sue Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) over an X post from the lawmaker accusing Bobulinski of making false statements.

On March 21, Goldman took to X and wrote, "Tony Bobulinski has used a Trump campaign-paid lawyer to make false allegations since October 2020. When Cassidy Hutchinson said he met with Mark Meadows with a mask on, he called her a liar. Then she produced a photo."

In a letter to Goldman that same month, Bobulinski’s lawyer said the post was “defamatory” and demanded that it be taken down.

“To be clear, as you are well aware given your position, Mr. Bobulinski has not told any lies about his firsthand knowledge of the Biden family,” lawyer Jesse Binnall wrote.

“Your statement, as though it were a matter of fact, that Mr. Bobulinski has lied to federal investigators, as well as Congress, is defamatory per se and will not be tolerated,” he added. “Further, President Trump’s campaign has never paid Mr. Bobulinski’s legal fees. In fact, Mr. Bobulinski has paid over $500,000, in legal fees to numerous lawyers in law firms out of his own pocket since 2020.”

“If you do not immediately delete the post from X and publicly retract your statement on X within five days of receiving this letter, we will file suit against you.”

This Friday, Politico reported that Bobulinski filed his lawsuit against Goldman for defamation.

"It is a matter of fact that since 2020, when Mr. Bobulinski first started speaking publicly against the Biden Family’s corruption, he has spent over $500,000 of his own money on legal fees. Neither President Trump, nor any Trump affiliated entities, have ever paid for Mr. Bobulinski’s legal fees. Rather, he did because of his strong sense of civic duty," the suit stated.

"Further, Mr. Bobulinski is not affiliated with the Trump campaign in any way. He has never lied to Congress, or anyone else, from the inception of when he first started speaking publicly in 2020 about Biden Family improprieties with the Chinese Communist Party and affiliated organizations. Mr. Bobulinski’s testimony, despite Defendant’s delusional assertion, is not 'Russian disinformation,'—the everpresent garbage so often used by Democrats invariably reflecting their lack of any substantive support based in reality."
