It was unclear how the group, which included Gilliar, Bobulinski, Hunter Biden, Jim Biden, and Rob Walker, may have intended to get Biden involved. A source familiar told Fox News that Joe Biden did not attend the May 7, 2017 meeting. "I am unaware of any involvement at any time of the former Vice President," Gilliar told the Journal in October. "Joe Biden has never even considered being involved in business with his family, nor in any overseas business whatsoever," Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates told Fox News in October. The source also told Fox News that this investigation was predicated, in part, by Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) regarding suspicious foreign transactions.
