‘Missing’ Hunter Biden Witness Comes Forward With Video Statement

A key witness in the House Republicans’ Hunter Biden probe who had been missing for months has finally spoken out in a video statement while hiding from the Department of Justice (DOJ) overseas.

In a video statement obtained by the New York Post, American-Israeli energy expert Gal Luft revealed that he had provided evidence of the Biden family’s corruption to the FBI and DOJ in March 2019, several months before President Joe Biden announced his run for the White House.

According to Luft, he never heard back from the DOJ until he was arrested by American authorities in Cyprus earlier this year on charges of illegal arms trading, acting as an unregistered foreign agent and lying to the FBI.

Luft is now claiming that these charges are an attempt by the DOJ to maliciously target him in order to protect the president.

In the 14-minute-long video statement, Luft details his offer to meet with the DOJ in 2019 to hand over evidence about Hunter Biden’s dealings with now-defunct Chinese energy company CEFC — where Luft also worked in an advisory capacity for roughly four years during the time that Hunter was also working for the company. Luft did end up meeting with a six-person team from the DOJ and FBI in March 2019 in Brussels.

“After Brussels, I never heard back from the DOJ, but instead of showing appreciation for my whistle blowing, I became public enemy number one. Over the past four years that followed, me, my family, my friends, my associates were all harassed, intimidated, and, finally, I was prosecuted,” he explained.

Luft also called on the DOJ to release all the evidence against him, including the indictment, to the public — noting that he is facing a 100-year prison sentence for the charges, all of which he has denied.

He explained that he had been arrested in Cyprus in February, where he was waiting to be extradited to the United States. However, he has since escaped and is now in hiding in an undisclosed location.

“While I was detained in Cyprus, I was portrayed in the international media as an arms dealer, even though I never traded a bullet in my entire life. In fact, nowhere in my indictment, the DOJ claimed or presented the evidence that I bought, sold, shipped, or financed any weapons,” Luft said.

He went on to condemn the charge of lying to the FBI, noting that it is based on a meeting he had set up with the DOJ simply to be a good citizen.

“Why won’t the FBI submit to Congress the minutes from the Brussels meeting? Let everybody see what happened in Brussels. Why not? Are you trying to protect anything? Are you trying to protect anybody?” Luft asked.

Despite being silent on the matter for several years now, Luft said he has chosen to speak out now because he doesn’t believe he would face a fair trial in New York.

“I do not have faith that I would receive a fair trial in a New York court,” he said.

“The very same prosecutor who is now after me, Daniel Reichenthal, told the judge at the time that mentioning the name Biden would quote, ‘add a political dimension to the case.’ And the judge agreed, which means that if I’m ever brought before a U.S. Court, I would not be allowed to utter the word Brussels or Biden. The real context of my arrest, me being patient-zero of the Biden family investigation would be hidden from the jury,” Luft added.
