Rough transcript from the Bobulinski presser:

00:03
another chair or something up here
00:04
there’s no
00:08
i’m going north to your right
00:23
good evening my name is tony babalenski
00:27
i served as a lieutenant in the united
00:28
states navy with high security clearance
00:32
my father and grandfather both served
00:34
for decades in our country’s armed
00:36
forces
00:37
since leaving the navy i’ve been
00:39
involved in various successful
00:40
businesses
00:42
both in this country and abroad i’m
00:45
making the statement
00:46
to set the record straight about the
00:47
involvement of the biden family
00:50
vice president biden his brother jim
00:52
biden
00:53
and his son hunter biden in dealings
00:56
with the chinese
00:58
i have heard joe biden say that he’s
01:00
never discussed business with hunter
01:03
that is false i have firsthand knowledge
01:06
about this because i directly dealt with
01:09
the biden family including joe biden
01:13
i have also heard that vice president
01:15
biden said on tuesday
01:17
that senator ron johnson the chair of
01:18
the senate homeland security committee
01:21
should be ashamed for suggesting that
01:23
biden family sought to profit from their
01:25
name
01:26
well here are the facts i know and
01:29
everything i’m saying is cooperated
01:31
by emails whatsapp chats agreements
01:35
documents and other evidence
01:38
and the american people can judge for
01:40
themselves i brought
01:42
i guess for record three phones
01:46
that spanned the years 2015 through
01:49
2018.
01:52
these phones have never been held by
01:54
anybody else besides myself
01:59
i was told this past sunday by somebody
02:00
who was also involved in this matter
02:03
that if i went public this information
02:05
it’d be it would bury all of us man
02:08
the biden’s included i have no wish to
02:11
bury anyone
02:13
i’ve never been political the few
02:15
contributions i’ve made
02:16
have been to democrats but what i am
02:20
is a patriot and a veteran
02:23
to protect my family name and my
02:25
business reputation
02:27
i need to ensure that the true facts are
02:29
out there
02:30
in late 2015 i was approached by james
02:33
gillier
02:34
whom i had known for many years about
02:37
joining him in a deal which he said
02:39
would involve
02:40
the chinese state-owned enterprise cfc
02:43
china energy and what he called one of
02:46
the most prominent families in the
02:47
united states
02:49
i was informed first by gillier and then
02:52
by hunter biden
02:53
and by rob walker who was working with
02:56
the bidens
02:57
that the bidens wanted to form a new
02:59
entity with cfc
03:01
which was to invest in infrastructure
03:04
real estate
03:05
and technology in the u s and around the
03:07
world
03:09
and the entity would initially be
03:10
capitalized with 10 million dollars
03:12
and then grow to billions of dollars of
03:14
investment capital
03:16
after months of discussion i agreed to
03:19
gilliard and hunter biden’s request
03:21
to become ceo of the entity to be called
03:24
cynohawk
03:26
sino representing the chinese side hawk
03:30
representing hunter biden’s brother
03:31
beau’s favorite animal
03:34
and between february and may 2017 we
03:37
exchanged numerous emails documents and
03:39
whatsapp messages
03:40
concerning sinohoc and its potential
03:43
business
03:44
on may 2nd 2017 the night before joe
03:47
biden was to appear at the milken
03:49
conference
03:51
i was introduced to joe biden by jim
03:53
biden and hunter biden
03:55
at approx and at my approximately
03:58
hour-long meeting with joe
03:59
that night we discussed the biden’s
04:02
history
04:03
the biden’s family business plans with
04:05
the chinese with which he was plainly
04:07
familiar
04:08
at least at a high level after that
04:11
meeting i had numerous communications
04:13
with hunter
04:14
walker gillier and jim biden
04:17
regarding the allocation of the equity
04:19
ownership of cynohawk
04:21
on may 13 2017 i received an email
04:24
concerning allocation of equity
04:27
which says 10 percent held by h for the
04:30
big guy
04:31
in that email there’s no question that h
04:34
stands for hunter
04:35
big guy for his father joe biden
04:40
and jim for jim biden in fact hunter
04:43
often
04:43
referred to his father as the big guy or
04:45
my chairman
04:47
on numerous occasions it was made clear
04:49
to me that joe biden’s involvement
04:51
was not to be mentioned in writing but
04:53
only face to face
04:55
in fact i was advised by gillian walker
04:57
that hunter and jim biden were paranoid
05:00
about keeping joe biden’s involvement
05:02
secret
05:03
i also had a disagreement with hunter
05:06
about the funds
05:06
cfc was contributing to cynohawk
05:10
hunter wanted 5 million of those funds
05:12
to go to himself and his family
05:14
so he wanted the funds wired directly to
05:17
an entity affiliated with him
05:19
i objected because that was contrary to
05:22
our written agreements concerning
05:24
cynohawk
05:25
he said referring to the chairman his
05:28
father
05:28
that cfc was really investing in the
05:30
biden family
05:32
that he held the trump card and that he
05:34
was the one putting his family legacy on
05:36
the line
05:37
he also said to me on may 17 2017
05:42
that cfc wanted to be my partner to be
05:45
partnered with the bidens
05:47
during these negotiations i repeated the
05:50
hunter and others
05:51
that sign ohio could not be hunter’s
05:53
personal piggy bank
05:55
and i demanded that proper corporate
05:57
governance procedures be implemented for
06:00
capital distributions
06:02
hunter became very upset with me cfc
06:05
through two
06:06
through july 2017 was assuring me
06:09
the funds would be transferred to
06:12
cynohawk
06:13
but they were never sent to our company
06:16
instead i found out
06:17
from senator johnson’s september report
06:20
that the 5 million dollars was sent in
06:22
august 2017
06:24
to entities affiliated with hunter
06:28
tomorrow i will be meeting with the
06:30
senate committee members concerning this
06:32
matter
06:33
and i will be providing to the fbi the
06:35
devices which contain
06:36
the evidence corroborating what i have
06:39
said
06:40
so i will not be taking any questions at
06:41
this time
06:53
the evidence sits on these three phones
06:55
i don’t want to go into anything any
06:56
further
06:57
uh this will all be discussed with
06:59
senator johnson and his committee
07:01
and the american people can decide
07:03
what’s fact we’ll pay for you to be here
07:05
we’ll pray for your expenses for being
07:07

07:09
