A prominent “whistleblower” who has repeatedly accused the Bidens of corruption now faces charges from the Justice Department. Gal Luft, a dual citizen of the United States and Israel, has been charged with arms trafficking, acting as a foreign agent for China, and violating Iran sanctions.
Prosecutors claim that he paid a former adviser to Donald Trump on behalf of Chinese principals in 2016 without registering as a foreign agent. It is alleged that Luft urged the former government employee to promote policies favorable to China.
Furthermore, Luft is accused of arranging meetings between Iranian officials and a Chinese energy company to discuss oil deals, a clear violation of US sanctions. Additionally, he is said to have engaged in illicit arms transactions, attempting to broker the sale of weapons to various countries, including anti-tank weapons, grenade launchers, mortar rounds, bombs, rockets, and unmanned aerial vehicles.
Although Luft was arrested in Cyprus in February on US charges, he managed to flee after being released on bail while awaiting extradition and is currently a fugitive.
Damian Williams, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, described Luft as engaging in “multiple, serious criminal schemes.” Williams emphasized that their office would work diligently with law enforcement partners to hold accountable those who attempt to perpetrate foreign influence campaigns in the United States.
