Hunter Biden, through a letter from his lawyer, asked the top federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., to investigate his former business associate Tony Bobulinski, claiming that Bobulinski lied to the FBI about their relationship.
"Specifically, we recently received information demonstrating that numerous statements made by Mr. Bobulinski in Washington, D.C. during an interview with the FBI on October 23, 2020, concerning our client, Hunter Biden, are false," Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell wrote to U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves, NBC News reported Friday after obtaining a copy of the letter, dated Oct. 7.
The FBI interview was made public through the House Oversight Committee, where IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler testified under oath. Lowell further said that while Bobulinski was introduced to Hunter Biden in 2017 by a mutual business associate to create a joint venture with a Chinese firm, the pair never engaged in "formal business operations."
Further, Lowell wrote that Bobulinski and business partner James Gilliar discussed a share of the proceeds for "the big guy," and that Hunter Biden and Bobulinski didn't have that discussion.
