President Biden’s Department of Justice has announced eight charges against “missing” Biden witness Israeli professor Gal Luft, including acting as an unregistered foreign agent, trafficking in arms, violating U.S. sanctions against Iran, and making false statements to federal agents
Luft shares an interesting connection with Hunter Biden via Chinese energy company CEFC.
According to The Daily Caller, “Gal Luft, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen, allegedly ‘willfully’ failed to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) while working to ‘advance the interests of China’ in the U.S. by brokering the illegal sale of Chinese weapons and Iranian oil to China, according to the DOJ. The DOJ alleges that Luft’s think tank, the Institute for the Analysis for Global Security, accepted at least $700,000 from CEFC China Energy beginning in 2015, which happens to be the same Chinese firm that allegedly sent millions to accounts linked to Hunter Biden and his associates, in 2017, according to a Senate committee report and a Washington Post review of Biden documents.”
The DOJ says Luft violated FARA by seeking to influence U.S. foreign policy toward China and “concealed these efforts by creating the false appearance that they were simply the sharing of sincere opinions of an independent expert on national security and international relations.”
Reads like a Hunter Biden story, no? Just without the sweetheart deal. Luft is looking at serious prison time for doing, essentially, what the GOP says Hunter did.
The indictment comes hot on the heels of Luft’s video to The New York Post claiming he has evidence against the Biden family.
“I, who volunteered to inform the US government about a potential security breach and about compromising information about a man vying to be the next president, am now being hunted by the very same people who I informed — and may have to live on the run for the rest of my life,” Luft told The Post in a video filmed in an undisclosed location last week.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) took a shot at the DOJ for moving quickly to indict Luft after the video was released by The Post.
“Here’s what I know about Gal Luft: he was getting paid, like the Bidens, from CEFC. We want to speak with everyone that we can find who was also on the payroll of CEFC (China Energy) like the Bidens,” Comer said. “And anyone who says we shouldn’t take Gal Luft’s allegations seriously discounts the fact that the Bidens wanted to share office space with CEFC, even going so far as to say that Hunter wanted to make an extra set of keys for both Joe Biden, Jill Biden, and the president’s brother, Jim Biden.”
“Obviously, they were concerned about something he had to say. There’s some level of credibility there,” Comer said. It’s just amazing that the Department of Justice moves so quickly against some people,” Comer said.
