House Republicans' impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, which was already on shaky ground, may have just suffered another blow.
At issue is the testimony of Tony Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter Biden who has made allegations of corruption against President Joe Biden.
While talking with House Republican investigators last week, Bobulinski accused former White House official Cassidy Hutchinson of lying about him after she claimed in her book that she saw him secretively talking to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows in Rome, Georgia.
According to Hutchinson's recollection, Bobulinski appeared to be wearing a "ski mask" and she said that she saw Meadows "hand Tony what appeared to be a folded sheet of paper or a small envelope."
Bobulinski completely denied this account and labeled Hutchinson "an absolute liar and a fraud," adding that "[Meadows] didn't hand me a single thing."

But now ABC News reports that William H. Jordan, an attorney representing Hutchinson, has produced a photo of Meadows and Bobulinski in Rome, Georgia, in which Bobulinski is clearly wearing a mask covering his face.
Additionally, the two men are talking while standing in between two cars, which matches Hutchinson's recollection that she "observed Mark and Tony Bobulinski's interaction through a gap in the vehicles."
"Mr. Bobulinski claims under oath that he was not wearing a mask, that Mr. Meadows did not hand him anything, and that Ms. Hutchinson was 'fabricating facts,'" Jordan said in a letter defending his client. "Perhaps Mr. Bobulinski's memory is impaired about the meeting, and a picture would help refresh his recollection."
The new questions about the veracity of Bobulinski's testimony comes as another "star" witness in the GOP impeachment inquiry, longtime FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, was indicted last week for allegedly lying to investigators about bribes received by President Joe Biden.
