President Donald Trump brought a guest to his debate with Joe Biden on Thursday, a man named Tony Bobulinski who claimed without evidence to have discussed a business venture in China with the former vice president and his son.
The gambit was intended to cast doubt on Biden’s claims that he and his son have never discussed Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings. But it raised more questions about an 11th-hour campaign by Trump and his associates to circulate derogatory information about Biden of mysterious origin.
