The Justice Department has filed charges against a “whistleblower” of engaging in arms trafficking, serving as a Chinese agent abroad, and breaking Iranian sanctions. Gal Luft has frequently accused US President Joe Biden of corruption.
Luft, a dual citizen of the United States and Israel, is charged with bribing a former Donald Trump aide in 2016 on behalf of Chinese businessmen without declaring himself to be a foreign agent.

According to the prosecution, Luft encouraged the unnamed former government worker to promote Chinese-friendly policies.
Additionally, they claim that he arranged meetings between Iranian and Chinese energy firm representatives to talk about oil agreements that would defy US sanctions.
They also claimed that Luft “conspired with others and attempted to broker illicit arms transactions with, among others, certain Chinese individuals and entities” by acting as a go-between to connect buyers and sellers of “certain weapons and other materials” in defiance of the US Arms Control Act.
