A Fox News reporter has debunked President Donald Trump’s latest effort to smear Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
Trump on Thursday night urged Tony Bobulinski, an ex-business associate of Hunter Biden, to accuse Joe Biden of lying about his knowledge of his family’s overseas business dealings.
The president pointed to a series of text messages in which Hunter Biden referred to consulting with someone known as “The Chairman” about an investment in a company called SinoHawk Holdings.
Trump claimed that “The Chairman” referred directly to Joe Biden. However, Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich combed through all of the texts and emails released by Bobulinski and determined that the claims about Biden being “The Chairman” were false.
“I completed searching all of Tony Bobulinski’s emails,” she wrote on Twitter. “They establish: the “Chairman” is China; NO ROLE for Joe Biden in emails/docs; Tony Bobulinski states himself there are NO OTHER MEMBERS besides Hunter Biden, Jim Biden, Rob Walker, James Gillar, and Bobulinski.”
Heinrich’s tweet came shortly after the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday night that corporate records it reviewed showed “no role for Joe Biden” in any of SinoHawk’s dealings.
I completed searching all of Tony Bobulinski’s emails. They establish:
•the “Chairman” is China.
• NO ROLE for Joe Biden in emails/docs
• Tony Bobulinski states himself there are NO OTHER MEMBERS besides Hunter Biden, Jim Biden, Rob Walker, James Gillar, and Bobulinski
