No credible news outlets have reported any wrongdoing or role held by Joe Biden, and Biden’s campaign has denied that their candidate got involved in, or stood to gain from, the venture or any other overseas business arrangements.
"I have not taken a penny from any foreign source ever in my life," Joe Biden said during the final presidential debate, pointing to reporting about a bank account President Donald Trump has in China.
But Bobulinski’s allegations have dominated Fox News and other conservative websites. Forbes reported that Carlson’s Oct. 27 interview was the highest rated non-debate telecast of the year. Carlson ran a follow-up segment the next night, claiming Fox News had procured additional documents related to Hunter Biden but that they went missing in the mail.
So far, much of what Bobulinski has said remains unverified. What Trump allies were trying to sell as a smoking gun in the run-up to the election has produced little smoke thus far. It’s the latest chapter in the push for dirt on Hunter Biden that led to Trump’s impeachment in 2019.

Bobulinski, a former Navy lieutenant, has claimed that Joe Biden knew about one of his son’s proposed business ventures with a Chinese oil company. Bobulinski claimed he met with the Biden family multiple times.
On Oct. 22, the night of the final presidential debate, Bobulinski said in a statement to reporters that he wanted to "set the record straight" on the Biden family’s "dealings with the Chinese."
Bobulinski said that, in 2017, Hunter Biden consulted with his father about forming a new venture with CEFC China Energy Co. to invest in real estate and technology in the U.S. Bobulinski was brought into the venture by James Gilliar, an English businessman who purportedly knew the Bidens through Rob Walker, a former Clinton administration official.
Bobulinski became a partner and CEO of the venture, which was named SinoHawk Holdings LLC. The company was incorporated in Delaware in May 2017.
