Think Tank Leader Who Accused Biden of Corruption Indicted, Charged With Acting as Unregistered Agent

Gal Luft, the head of a U.S. think tank who has accused the Biden family of corruption, has been charged with acting as an unregistered agent of China.

The Details: Luft is charged with paying an advisor to then-President Trump on behalf of China in 2016 without registering as a foreign agent, which is required by law. He's also charged with trying to broker weapons sales to countries including Libya, Kenya, and the United Arab Emirates without having a license to do so, and with trying to facilitate oil sales with Iran despite sanctions.

For Context: The New York Post (Lean Right bias) published a video of Luft last week in which he says he warned the FBI and DOJ "about potential risk to the integrity of the 2020 elections" involving the Biden family's foreign business dealings, and that he believes he's "now being hunted by the very same people who I informed."

How the Media Covered it: Some headlines described Luft as a "think tank founder." Other headlines from left to right highlighted his whistleblower claims about Biden, which could either be read to imply that Luft's arrest represents a weaponization of the justice system, or that his whistleblower claims lack merit following the indictment. Right-rated sources focused more on Luft's claims about Biden. Left-rated sources focused more on the details of Luft's alleged crimes, and some made no mention of his claims about the Bidens.
