Bobulinski claimed there is evidence showing the dealings on three phones, which he brought with him to the press conference.

“I’ve heard Joe Biden say that he’s never discussed business with Hunter, that is FALSE," Bobulinski alleged.

"The American people can judge for themselves," he said of the claims.

He said he was introduced to Joe Biden by his son, Hunter, and Jim Biden.

Bobulinski is a Navy veteran and the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings.

He described the company as "a partnership between the  operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family."

Bobulinski alleged in a prepared statement that James Gilliar, and the Biden family, were involved in the business dealings.

He claimed that Gilliar approached him in 2015 about forming a new entity – which "would initially capitalized with $10million."

Bobulinski claimed he met with the former Vice President in 2017 and discussed the deals.

"In my approximately hour long meeting with Joe that night, we discussed Biden's history, the Biden's family business dealing plans with the Chinese, with which he was plainly familiar, at least at a high level," Bobulinski claimed.

The Sun has previously contacted Biden's campaign about the claims for comment.

Bobulinski's claims came after documents given to Fox News allegedly said not to mention Joe Biden's involvement in the scheme.

One message allegedly said:

Hunter Biden's ex-business partner claimed that Joe was referred to as "the big guy" in emails detailing stakes.

Hunter was allegedly referred to in the emails as "H."

An email apparently showed Hunter holding a 20percent stake – with "10 held by H for the big guy ?"

Bobulinski claimed at the press conference that "on numerous occasions" it was "made clear Joe Biden's involvement was not to be mentioned."

"CFC was really investing in the Biden family," Bobulinski claimed.

He said he is meeting with Senate committee members and the FBI, and will hand them the phones with the alleged evidence.
