Republicans are regrouping after their first impeachment hearing didn't go so well. They're hoping this witness can do better. But he has quite the past.
The GOP investigators running this show plan to regain the public’s trust in part through testimony from a person they’re holding up as star fact witness—a former associate of
While Tony was trying to chisel money back from his dying father, and then his dad’s estate and widow, over what Virginia court records indicate was a misunderstanding about a $25,000 donation, he was simultaneously pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars of his own money—including in emergency loans—into a failing offshore U.S.-Chinese branding venture operating in the Cayman Islands.
It’s unclear whether the release took effect. The document, drawn up in February 2016 by Tony’s lawyer and sent to Alicia, does not bear Tony’s signature, and it is unclear whether he ever signed it. Alicia, who signed the release on Feb. 12, included it without Tony’s signature as documentation of “reasons” in her motion to dismiss the case the next month.
The Daily Beast reached out to Alicia Bobulinski by phone and text message, and did the same with a number associated with Tony’s brother, whose name also appears in the court filings. A few hours later, this reporter received a call from Arthur Schwartz, a Republican operative and Donald Trump Jr. adviser who had“Tony won’t talk with you,” Schwartz said, adding that Bobulinski had instructed him to tell this reporter to “stop harassing his family members.
It’s difficult to overstate just how purely the community loved Robert and the group. For more than two decades, MADF served untold tens of thousands of children in need, according to the, which described the organization as “an out-of-the box social service program that has helped children, teens and adults in numerous ways throughout the past 23 years.
“Thank u again for the donation we would not been able to have done it without ur help when u get a chance to visit I think u will like what was done,” Alicia wrote in a Feb. 22 text. “Have a great day the feeling of having the money to bring about a better quality of life is immeasurable.” Alicia eventually responded, explaining her understanding of the arrangement and wondering why Tony wasn’t happy the money went “to ease ur dads' anguish & his ability to get around the house.” But Tony fired back again, for days, repeatedly belittling his stepmother and threatening to contact the FBI, vowing at one point that “if I have to put Grandpa in front of a judge I will.”
Three days after the incident, Alicia Bobulinski sought a protective order, saying in a sworn affidavit that Tony “put his hands on his father, moving his head and face up, down and side to side. He was aware my husband had just had a brain tumor relapse.” According to the Bobulinski’s response to Tony’s complaint, they had never solicited donations from Tony, and refused offers in the past because “we did not agree with his conditions.” In 2013, they wrote, Tony provided $36,000 to the foundation, asking them to reroute most of it to specified organizations. They complied “to the letter,” the filing says.
He sought a combined $900,000 in combined damages from the three defendants, along with attorney's fees, pre- and post-judgment interest, court costs, and “such other and further relief as allowable by law.”Tony’s lawsuit, however, was not. In pursuit of mediation two months later, his attorney—Martingayle—and Alicia exchanged a series of emails, where Alicia blamed Tony for his father’s death and asked for “some degree of assurance” that Tony “will not try to hurt me or my family anymore.
