was involved in his family’s plot to make millions in Communist China.
The messages, obtained by Fox News on Thursday, purportedly show Bobulinski being instructed by James Gilliar, another key player in the alleged scheme, not to make any mention of the former veep’s involvement.
"Don’t mention Joe being involved, it’s only when u [sic] are face to face, I know u [sic] know that but they are paranoid," a screenshot of the message shared by Fox News’ chief congressional correspondent Mike Emanuel reads.

In a lengthy statement to The Post’s Michael Goodwin, Bobulinski addressed a May 13, 2017, email published last week that revealed how Hunter Biden pursued lucrative deals with a Chinese energy company and wanted to hold 10 percent of profits for "the big guy."
Bobulinski specifically confirmed that "the big guy" was Joe Biden.
"Hunter Biden called his dad ’the Big Guy’ or ’my Chairman,’ and frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals that we were discussing," he said in the devastating statement.
Hunter Biden business partner calls email 'genuine,' says Hunter sought dad's advice on deals
[FOXNEWS] Tony Bobulinski, who was listed as the recipient of an email published by the New York Post that appeared to detail a business arrangement involving a Chinese company and members of the Biden family, has confirmed that the email is "genuine" and provided more information regarding the Bidens' role in the deal.
The email includes a note that "Hunter has some office expectations he will elaborate." A proposed equity split references "20" for "H" and "10 held by H for the big guy?" with no further details.
"The reference to 'the Big Guy' in the much publicized May 13, 2017 email is in fact a reference to Joe

," Bobulinski said in a statement to Fox News.
Bobulinski said he is the CEO of Sinohawk Holdings, which he explained "was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC/Chairman Ye and the Biden family." He said he was brought on as CEO by Hunter Biden and James Gilliar, who was listed as the sender of the email.
Bobulinski went on to say he does not believe Joe Biden's past claim that he and Hunter did not discuss his son Hunter's business, claiming that Hunter "frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals."
"I’ve seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business. I’ve seen firsthand that that’s not true, because it wasn’t just Hunter’s business, they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line," Bobulinski said.
"The Biden family aggressively leveraged the Biden family name to make millions of dollars from foreign entities even though some were from communist controlled China," he added.
Bobulinksi also said that he believes that the Chinese involvement in the deal was "political or influence investment" on their part, and that "Hunter wanted to use the company as his personal piggy bank by just taking money out of it as soon as it came from the Chinese."
