Just more suspect BS from the usual sources. No October surprise this time...

Trump to bring Hunter Biden's ex-business associate Tony Bobulinski to final debate, claims Fox News

Donald Trump intends to bring Hunter Biden’s reported former business associate, Tony Bobulinski, as his guest to the final presidential debate.

The news of Mr Trump’s guest was reported by John Roberts, Fox News’ Chief White House Correspondent.

Mr Bobulinski claims that he was CEO of Sinohawk Holdings, a firm that he alleged was “a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family", Fox News reported.

Mr Bobulinski’s emails formed a large part of the story published this month by the New York Post, which claimed that Hunter Biden had connected a Ukrainian board member of the energy company, Burisma, with his father while he was vice president.

Rudy Giuliani, Mr Trump’s lawyer, appears to have been a source for the story, as was Steve Bannon, the former Trump adviser who is now facing federal fraud charges.

Other outlets, including the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times have been unable to independently verify or authenticate the story. The Times reported on Wednesday that some New York Post reporters would not allow their bylines to be added to the story.

More than 50 senior intelligence officials signed a letter earlier this month saying that the Hunter Biden emails story “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation”.

In a conference call with reporters ahead of Thursday night’s debate, Mr Biden’s campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield, said that Mr Trump would be “amplifying Russian disinformation” if he brings it up.
