"Multiple Individuals Charged as Chinese Agents in US"

Gal Luft, co-director of a Maryland-based think tank, has been indicted on charges of unregistered advocacy of Chinese causes, violating Iranian sanctions, and making false statements to federal agents. Luft, who is currently a fugitive, allegedly engaged in multiple international criminal schemes, including acting as a broker for dangerous weapons and Iranian oil deals. The indictment also references his alleged involvement in recruiting a former high-ranking U.S. government official to make pro-China statements. House Republicans have promoted Luft's unsubstantiated claims about the Biden family's ties to China.
