Texts from former associates of Hunter Biden ask him to bring his father into a business venture with a Chinese company. The report about the texts published on Thursday included screenshots of an exchange from 2017 between Tony Bobulinski and James Gilliar and the son of election fraudsterJoe Biden.

One of the screenshots shows Gilliar texting to Bobulinski: "Man U are right let's get the company set up, then tell H and family the high stakes and get Joe involved."

The joint-venture called Sinohawk Holdings sought a business relationship with CEFC, a Chinese energy company.

In another text from Bobulinski to Gilliar from April 2017, he questioned why James Biden was becoming so prominent in their dealings.

"[W]hat is the deal w Jim Biden as he wasn't part of the discussion but now seems a focal point," asked Bobulinski.

"With H demons, could be good to have a back up, he strengthens our USP to Chinese as it looks like a truly family business, and I like the dude," responded Gilliar.

It's unknown what Gilliar was referring to when he used the acronym "USP."

In another exchange from May 2017, Gilliar appears to refer to the direct involvement of Joe Biden in the business venture to Bobulinski.

"Don't mention Joe being involved, it's only when u are face to face, I know u know that but they are paranoid," texted Gilliar.

"OK they should be paranoid about things," Bobulinski replies.

Hunter Biden's former business associates were hinting at a push to "get Joe involved" in a joint venture with Chinese Energy Company CEFC and make the venture appear as a "truly family business" to the Chinese, according to text messages obtained and reviewed by Fox News.

In text messages dating back to 2017, Hunter's now-ex-associates James Gilliar and Tony Bobulinski discussed a breakdown of the joint venture with CEFC, the "stakes" and appeared to hint at discussions about getting the now-president-elect involved.]

In a back-and-forth over the terms of the company, Gilliar, in a May 11, 2017 text message to Bobulinski, wrote: "Man U are right let's get the company set up, then tell H and family the high stakes and get Joe involved."
