\nHunter Biden
\nThe House Oversight Committee is investigating the explosive claims by Dr. Gal Luft, a former Israel Defense Forces lieutenant colonel with deep intelligence ties in Washington and Beijing, who says he was arrested to stop him from revealing what he knows about the Biden family and FBI corruption \u2014 details he told the Department of Justice in 2019, which he says it ignored.
\nLuft, 56, first made the claims on Feb. 18 on Twitter, after being detained at a Cyprus airport as he prepared to board a plane to Israel.
\n\u201cI\u2019ve been arrested in Cyprus on a politically motivated extradition request by the U.S. The U.S., claiming I\u2019m an arms dealer. It would be funny if it weren\u2019t tragic. I\u2019ve never been an arms dealer.

\nThrough his American lawyer, Robert Henoch, Luft said he tried four years ago to inform the DOJ that Chinese state-controlled energy company CEFC had paid $100,000 a month to President Biden\u2019s son Hunter and $65,000 to Joe\u2019s brother Jim, in exchange for their FBI connections and use of the Biden name to promote China\u2019s Belt and Road Initiative around the world.
\nLuft learned about the scheme through his own relationship with Hunter\u2019s Chinese business partners, Patrick Ho and Ye Jianming, the chairman of CEFC.
\nHunter\u2019s Chinese business partners,
\nPatrick Ho and Ye Jianming (above), the chairman of CEFC<\/p>\n![\"Hunter\u2019s](\"https:\/\/fye-yemen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/5EE55883-A390-4A06-B728-BAB59E8E5F36-300x227.jpeg\")
\nFrom 2015 to 2018, Luft organized international energy conferences in partnership with Ho\u2019s think tank, the nonprofit China Energy Fund Committee (CEFC-USA), a front organization for Ye\u2019s CEFC.
\nYe confided to Luft that Hunter had an informant in the FBI \u201cor formerly of the bureau, extremely well placed, who they paid lots of money to [provide] sealed law enforcement information,\u201d says Henoch.
\nThe FBI mole was called \u201cOne-Eye\u201d.
\nSoon after that tipoff, Ye offered Hunter $1 million to be his \u201cprivate counsel\u201d and flew to China, leaving his wife, daughter, son, mother, and nanny in his $50 million penthouse at 15 Central Park West.
\n\u201cOne-Eye\u201d told Ye that the Southern District of New York was investigating him and\/or Ho in late 2017, and that \u201can Asian, an African, and a Jewish guy\u201d were named on a sealed indictment, says Henoch.<\/p>\n![\"President](\"https:\/\/fye-yemen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/C7D1611F-E973-4444-9411-03440C5EA719-300x168.jpeg\")
\nBefore he left New York, Ye told Ho that the coast was clear for him to come back to the US.
\nOn Nov. 18, 2017, Ho flew into JFK Airport, where he was arrested by FBI agents on bribery and money laundering charges.
\n\u201cHo was the patsy … the fall guy,\u201d says Henoch.
\nHo was convicted in December 2018, without calling a single witness, served three years in jail, and was deported. Prosecutors placed the spotlight in his case on China\u2019s use of foreign bribery to win contracts
\nfor its Belt and Road Initiative.
\nHunter was paid $1 million by CEFC to represent Ho, which entailed contacting his FBI sources on Ho\u2019s behalf and engaging another attorney to do the legal work, according to emails on his laptop.
\nCEFC paid a further $4.9 million to Hunter and Jim Biden in monthly installments for 14 months from August 2017, government records show.
\nThe House Oversight Committee released bank statements last week, showing an additional $1,065,000 was funneled from a Chinese company affiliated with CEFC to Hunter, Jim, and Hallie Biden, Hunter\u2019s former lover, and widow of his late brother, Beau. The payments were made in increments over three months through Biden associate Rob Walker, whose wife, Betsy, had been personal assistant to then-second lady Jill Biden.
\nLuft claims he contacted the DOJ after Ho was jailed and federal investigators flew to Brussels to interview him for more than 18 hours on March 28 and 29, 2019.
\nBut he never heard from them again \u2014 and less than four weeks later, Joe Biden announced he was running for president.
\n\u201cThe DOJ had this information in March 2019 and did nothing,\u201d Henoch said this week from Israel, where he is fighting Luft\u2019s extradition.
\n\u201cCongress has the Biden bank records but it doesn\u2019t know the reason for the payments. Now it does. The information that the whistleblower Dr. Luft gave the DOJ four years ago is the missing link for the reason behind the China-Biden money transfers. Clearly, this is explosive stuff\u201d.<\/p>\n![\"Mordechai](\"https:\/\/fye-yemen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/FF0BDEFE-A7CD-4B29-9385-C5183378EC41-236x300.jpeg\")
\nLuft is well connected in intelligence circles in DC, where he runs a think tank, the Institute for Analysis of Global Security, with former CIA Director James Woolsey and former national security adviser Robert McFarlane as advisers.<\/p>\n
\nway to shut him up because he knows a lot of information on Hunter.
\n\u201c[The US Congress] only recently began to investigate Hunter\u2019s case and Gal\u2019s testimony … will bury Hunter
\nBiden. Even more so, his testimony will shift the attention toward the president himself.\u201d
\nTzivin also sensationally suggested that powerful people might want Luft to \u201cdisappear … If this would
\nhave happened in Russia, they would have carried out a \u2018diplomatic car crash,\u2019 but luckily, he is in a safe
\nlocation where no one can hurt him.\u201d
\nJust when you thought the Biden family saga couldn\u2019t get any wilder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
