Gal Luft, the whistleblower responsible for exposing US President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden of corruption, has been charged by the Department of Justice (DoJ). The federal prosecutors in New York charged Luft for acting as an "unregistered agent of China", with the GOP lawmakers terming it a pressure tactic.
Luft, a US-Israeli citizen, headed the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, a Maryland-based think tank and had a pivotal role in the Hunter Biden laptop probe. Apart from accusing him of acting as a Chinese mole, the 58-page indictment unsealed on Monday stated Luft was involved in arms trafficking and violated sanctions by brokering the sale of Chinese-made weapons and Iranian oil to China.
“As alleged, Gal Luft, a dual US-Israeli citizen and co-head of a Maryland think tank, engaged in multiple, serious criminal schemes. He subverted foreign agent registration laws in the United States to seek to promote Chinese policies by acting through a former high-ranking US Government official," said Damian Williams, US attorney for the Southern District of New York.
"He acted as a broker in deals for dangerous weapons and Iranian oil, and he told multiple lies about his crimes to law enforcement," he added.
