"Whistleblower Charged as Unregistered Foreign Agent, Accused of Arms Trafficking and China Connections"

Gal Luft, an Israeli-American co-head of a Maryland-based think tank, has been indicted by the Department of Justice on charges related to violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Luft, who is currently a fugitive, has been promoted by Republicans as a potential whistleblower in their attempts to link the Biden family to corrupt business dealings abroad. The charges against Luft include failing to register under FARA, arms trafficking, Iranian sanctions violations, and making false statements to federal agents. Luft is accused of subverting foreign agent registration laws to promote Chinese policies and engaging in illicit arms transactions. Last week, Luft made claims against the Biden family, alleging that his arrest was an attempt to prevent him from exposing their corruption. Republicans have called for Luft to be granted immunity and have requested the FBI's notes from their meetings with him.
