In a startling development in the ongoing Biden family corruption investigation, Dr. Gal Luft, a previously absent witness, has come forward with allegations in an unprecedented video confession. A former Israeli army officer, now a fugitive, Dr. Luft claims to have evidence of bribery involving President Biden’s family, including alleged payments from individuals tied to Chinese military intelligence.
The video, in which Dr. Luft tells his version of events, was filmed in an undisclosed location, highlighting the dramatic circumstances surrounding the case. He maintains his innocence, despite charges of conspiring to sell Chinese weapons to Kenya, Libya, and the UAE, violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), and making a false statement. Luft describes himself as “patient zero of the Biden family investigation.”
In his videotaped statement, Luft alleges that he was arrested in Cyprus to prevent him from testifying to the House Oversight Committee about the Bidens’ financial connections with the China-controlled energy company CEFC. According to Luft, the Bidens also had an FBI mole who relayed classified information to their benefactors.
Luft argues that he disclosed this potentially compromising information to six officials from the FBI and the Department of Justice during a clandestine meeting in Brussels in March 2019, only for it to be concealed. Furthermore, he claims that he is now being pursued by the same authorities he informed.
Another notable aspect of Luft’s allegations involves a meeting at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, D.C., attended by Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, shortly after Biden’s vice presidential term concluded. Luft claims that at this meeting, CEFC officials were present, and subsequent payments of $100,000 per month to Hunter Biden and $65,000 to Jim Biden, Joe’s brother, ensued.
Luft’s account of the meeting was corroborated 21 months later by another attendee, Biden family associate Rob Walker, during a recent Congressional testimony. Furthermore, the Oversight Committee has requested that Walker be questioned about his alleged role in funneling more than $1 million from China to at least three of President Biden’s relatives.
Despite his fugitive status, the House Oversight chairman, Republican James Comer, has stated that Luft remains a potential witness in the Biden family probe. Luft himself has challenged the U.S. government to make public the evidence against him and the records of the Brussels meeting.
In Washington, D.C., Luft is a known figure within intelligence circles, having run a think tank, the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, alongside former CIA Director James Woolsey and former national security adviser Robert McFarlane.
It’s still unclear what impact Luft’s allegations will have on the Biden family investigation. However, they have undoubtedly cast a fresh light on the already complex and controversial probe. Whether Luft’s claims are substantial and credible enough to bring about significant changes in the investigation or the public’s perception of the Bidens remains to be seen.
