Tony Bobulinski Sues Democrat Dan Goldman for Defamation

Former Biden business associate Tony Bobulinski sued Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) for defamation, a Friday court filing revealed.

Bobulinski is Hunter Biden’s former business partner who alleged that then-Vice President Joe Biden, the “big guy,” was slated to receive a ten percent stake in a deal with the CEFC China Energy Company, an entity closely linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

The suit surrounds Goldman’s post on X in which he claimed in March that Bobulinski made “false allegations” with the help of a Trump-affiliated lawyer.

“Tony Bobulinski has used a Trump campaign-paid lawyer to make false allegations since October 2020,” Goldman claimed:

“Your statement, as though it were a matter of fact, that Mr. Bobulinski has lied to federal investigators and Congress, is defamatory per se and will not be tolerated,” Bobulinski’s lawyer previously warned Goldman.

Goldman refused to take down the post.

In turn, Bobulinski sued the Democrat on Friday. The suit reads:

    Defendant lied solely to serve his political agenda by deliberately besmirching the character of Mr. Bobulinski and to protect Joseph Biden. Defendant’s assertions are unequivocally false and defamatory. Mr. Bobulinski demanded a complete retraction and deletion of his posts made on X (formerly Twitter) on March 26, 2024, which Defendant wholly ignored. Accordingly, Mr. Bobulinski seeks to hold Defendant accountable for his malicious and knowing lies.

Goldman made the alleged defamatory statement during a congressional hearing, during which Bobulinski testified that Hunter and James Biden perjured themselves in a February closed-door interview with the House impeachment inquiry.

Uh...this may create a problem:

Article I, Section 6, Clause 1:

The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

And yes, that includes committee hearings.

Although it doesn't include tweets, so if the tweet by itself is actionable, then he won't need to get into what was actually set in the hearing.
