Charges Filed Against Biden Critic and Think Tank Founder for Foreign Agent Activities

Gal Luft, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen and vocal critic of President Joe Biden and his family, has been charged with failing to register as a foreign agent and violating U.S. sanctions on Iran. Federal prosecutors allege that Luft worked to advance China's interests by paying an adviser to then-President Donald Trump to publicly support certain policies. He is also accused of brokering illicit arms deals involving China and setting up meetings between Iranian representatives and a Chinese energy company. Luft, who remains a fugitive, has claimed that his arrest was an attempt to prevent him from testifying before congressional Republicans about the Biden family.
