Democratic congressman tells ex-Hunter Biden associate Bobulinski he’d defend him over ‘partisan hack’ claim
Donor records show that Bobulinski has contributed money to Democrats – including Rep. Ro Khanna
Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna told Hunter Biden’s former business associate Tony Bobulinski in a new message that he would defend him against claims that he is a “partisan hack” in the wake of his claims about the Biden family's business ventures, according to an email obtained by Fox News.
Bobulinski who says he was once involved in a joint-business venture with Hunter Biden and Jim Biden has come forward with documents, including emails and text messages, claiming that he met twice with former Vice President Joe Biden. Those claims conflict with the Democratic nominee's statements that he has had no involvement with, or discussions about, his family’s overseas business ventures.
Critics have slammed Bobulinski for going public with the accusations and documents with some accusing him of being a partisan of trying to take down Biden but the businessman has maintained that the “American people should be demanding that this is investigated.”
Donor records show that Bobulinski has contributed money to Democrats – including multiple times to Khanna, a California lawmaker, since 2013.
Fox News obtained an email from Khanna on Friday Oct. 30, to Bobulinski, offering him well wishes and support – while saying he isn't commenting specifically on his claims. A spokeswoman for Khanna confirmed the email to Bobulinski from the congressman is authentic.
“Tony, hope you are doing okay. I did give an on the record statement to The NY Times that I know you, you have always acted honorably with me, and you and other family members supported me,” Khanna wrote. “I have told any media outlets that have asked the same thing.”
Khanna wrote that he has “refused to comment on the details of your allegations because I don’t have personal knowledge about that, but have said I respect your service to our country and that you have never been a ‘partisan hack’ in our interactions and have talked about putting country over party.”
“I also have made it clear that I do not think you are a Russian agent,” Khanna wrote. “I will continue to make that statement to any media that asks.”
