Tony Bobulinski, the former Hunter Biden associate who came forward in 2020 about messages on the younger Biden's laptop, said the FBI never followed up with him despite promising to.
During an interview with Fox News's Tucker Carlson on Monday, Bobulinski asserted that former FBI agent Timothy Thibault-who was accused by GOP senators of having an animus against Trump and slow-walking the Hunter Biden investigation-never got back to him when Bobulinski came forward with the information ahead of the 2020 election.
"Tim Thibault, in his last discussion with my legal counsel, said, ‘Listen, we know Tony's cooperating. We appreciate all the information he's provided. We will follow up with you. We are definitely going to have him come in for a follow-up interview, or spend some more time on this,'" Bobulinski told Carlson. "And I haven't heard from him since. Nor have my lawyers."
Bobulinski in the interview again asserted that President Joe Biden was highly involved in his son's overseas business operations. The president has denied that he had knowledge of Hunter Biden's finances or deals.

"There are hundreds of data points that Joe Biden was acting in-in a capitalistic term, I would say the chairman," Bobulinski told Carlson.
In October 2020, Bobulinski came forward to the media and revealed Joe Biden's involvement in his son's business, including with a Chinese energy company CEFC.
In one email sourced from the infamous laptop, the elder Biden was named as the "big guy" by Hunter Biden because of the 10 percent cut he allegedly received from CEFC. Bobulinski corroborated the authenticity of those emails and messages.
Bobulinski accused the Biden family of being "compromised" by Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials due to their business deals with individuals and companies connected to the CCP, adding that it's impossible Joe Biden "can't be influenced in some manner based on the history that they have with CEFC."
‘Chairman'
"The chairman of JPMorgan doesn't take eight meetings down with the people, you know, analyzing companies. The chairman serves a purpose, right? He's a figurehead," Bobulinski told Carlson. "He shows up in meetings, shakes hands, advises, you know, has faith in his team. Effectively, that was Joe Biden's role in the Biden family business ventures and around the world. And not just my venture."
Bobulinski noted that President Biden "was adamant to the American people that he had no knowledge of his family's business deals" but asked: "How, if he had zero knowledge of that, could he be telling his son that he's in the clear" regarding an article from the New York Times on Hunter Biden's work with a Chinese company.
He was referring to a voicemail that Biden left his son regarding the NY Times report in 2018, telling him: "I think you're clear." That story delved into Hunter Biden's deals with a Chinese oil tycoon, Ye Jianming.
Retirement
In August, Thibault left the FBI following several letters sent to FBI leaders by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.). The lawmakers have publicly accused Thibault of meddling in the Hunter Biden investigation and said that whistleblowers came forward with those claims.
