The Biden administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed criminal charges against Dr. Gal Luft, a key informant on the alleged Biden family’s controversial China dealings. The charges, announced by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, include violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), illegal arms trafficking, breaking sanctions, and lying to federal agents.
Luft, who has continually professed his innocence, insists that the DOJ’s charges are an intimidation tactic designed to silence him and his damaging revelations about alleged Biden family corruption. The charges, Luft argues, provide the federal government the means to forestall Congress from summoning him for questioning. Such assertions prompt serious concern that the new charges are more than coincidental.

Senator Ron Johnson says Gal Luft, who was just indicted by the DOJ, should be granted immunity to testify before Congress about the criminal behavior he witnessed by the Biden family.

An important facet to consider is Luft’s connection with CEFC, the Chinese energy company heavily involved with Hunter Biden. Curiously, Luft faces charges of FARA violations for his relationship with CEFC. Still, Hunter Biden, known to have lobbied the American government on behalf of foreign entities, remains unscathed. These disparities in treatment certainly raise eyebrows and will likely fuel skepticism, especially amongst House Republicans, who have been regularly stifled in their investigative efforts.
The indictment is a striking revelation given the Bidens’ publicized financial ties to CEFC China Energy. Text messages and emails from 2017 reveal Hunter Biden demanding substantial payments from CEFC executives, even hinting at his father’s involvement to expedite the process. Payments were made, totaling millions to bank accounts linked to the Biden family, all without a FARA registration. Is the law being applied unevenly?
In addition to the FARA violations, the charges also allege that Luft attempted to broker illegal arms deals with Libya, the UAE, and Kenya without a necessary license. Further, he’s accused of breaking Iran sanctions by arranging meetings between Iranian officials and a Chinese energy company.
What has drawn the most attention, however, is Luft’s repeated allegations against the Biden family, his self-proclaimed role as “patient zero of the Biden family investigation,” and his claims of an FBI cover-up. Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has described Luft as a “very credible witness on Biden family corruption.”
The DOJ has painted a picture of Luft as a lawbreaker facing several serious charges. Simultaneously, some see him as a silenced whistleblower, a casualty in a purported effort to mask the Biden family’s dubious dealings.
