House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) and Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) wrote a letter to Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) outlining their issues with the 57-year-old Luft, a dual US-Israeli citizen.

The charges against Luft also include arms trafficking, brokering sales of Iranian oil in violation of US sanctions, and making false statements to investigators about those activities.
“We urge you to immediately initiate an investigation into whether the Committee may have been unwittingly duped by Mr. Luft in furtherance of the [Chinese Communist Party’s] interests as well as any potentially false statements made by Mr. Luft,” Raskin and Goldman wrote in the letter.
