Biden Impeachment Hearing Erupts as Tony Bobulinski and Jamie Raskin Battle in Feisty Exchange

 

Tony Bobulinski, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, engaged in a testy exchange with Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) during his opening statement to the House Oversight Committee in regards to the Biden impeachment inquiry on Wednesday.

Bobulinski, who became a critic of the Biden family, spent his opening statement calling several people liars, including President Joe Biden, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), and Raskin. The accusations prompted Raskin to interrupt Bobulinski:

Bobulinski: Reps. Dan Goldman and Jamie Raskin, both lawyers, and Mr. Goldman, a former prosecutor with the SDNY from New York, will continue to lie today in this hearing and then go straight to the media to tell more lies. Hunter Biden’s defense attorney, Abbe Lowell, weaponized his letters to Congress to try to smear my name–

Raskin: Mr. Chairman?

Bobulinski: –and misstate the cold, hard facts —

Raskin: Mr. Chairman?

Bobulinski: –in an attempt to save his powerfully connected client and his father. I challenge Mr. Lowell to make those claims on national television so he can be held accountable for his lies. Prior to my successful business career, I was an officer in the United States Navy at Navy’s elite Naval Nuclear Power Training Command. I later served as the chief, the command’s chief technology officer…

Rep. James Comer (R-KY): Please proceed. I apologize for the disruption from the minority.

Bobulinski: Am I supposed to say it’s my time, Mr. Raskin?

Comer: But please, Mr. Bobulinski, please– Come to order. Mr. Bobulinski, Mr. Bobulinski, please proceed. Please proceed. I apologize for the disruption from the minority.

Bobulinski: Okay.

Raskin: Well, Mr. Chairman, save his time, but he called members of this committee liars. And I just want to know whether the order and decorum requirements of House Rule 11 apply to witnesses appearing before the committee. Does it apply or does it not?

Bobulinski: Should I address? I don’t…

Comer: There’s decorum from the members. We’ve asked for that. There’s no language that I’m aware of pertaining to a witness.

Raskin: Thank you.
