Hunter Biden had an FBI mole named "One-Eye" who tipped off his Chinese business partners that they were under investigation, according to an Israeli energy expert arrested in Cyprus last month on gunrunning charges.
The 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 — details he told the Department of Justice in 2019, which he says it ignored.
Luft, 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.
"I've been arrested in Cyprus on a politically motivated extradition request by the U.S. The U.S., claiming I'm an arms dealer. It would be funny if it weren't tragic. I've never been an arms dealer.
"DOJ is trying to bury me to protect Joe, Jim, and Hunter Biden.
"Shall I name names?"

Luft remains in jail awaiting extradition to the US over what he says are trumped-up charges of arms trafficking to China and Libya, and violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Through 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's son Hunter and $65,000 to Joe's brother Jim, in exchange for their FBI connections and use of the Biden name to promote China's Belt and Road Initiative around the world.
Luft learned about the scheme through his own relationship with Hunter's Chinese business partners, Patrick Ho and Ye Jianming, the chairman of CEFC.

From 2015 to 2018, Luft organized international energy conferences in partnership with Ho's think tank, the nonprofit China Energy Fund Committee (CEFC-USA), a front organization for Ye's CEFC.
Ye confided to Luft that Hunter had an informant in the FBI "or formerly of the bureau, extremely well placed, who they paid lots of money to [provide] sealed law enforcement information," says Henoch.
The FBI mole was called "One-Eye."

"One-Eye" told Ye that the Southern District of New York was investigating him and/or Ho in late 2017, and that "an Asian, an African, and a Jewish guy" were named on a sealed indictment, says Henoch.
Soon after that tipoff, Ye offered Hunter $1 million to be his "private counsel" and flew to China, leaving his wife, daughter, son, mother, and nanny in his $50 million penthouse at 15 Central Park West.
He was detained in Shanghai three months later and disappeared.
"DOJ is trying to bury me to protect Joe, Jim, and Hunter Biden," Luft said.supplied
Before he left New York, Ye told Ho that the coast was clear for him to come back to the US.
On Nov. 18, 2017, Ho flew into JFK Airport, where he was arrested by FBI agents on bribery and money laundering charges.
"Ho was the patsy … the fall guy," says Henoch.
Ho 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's use of foreign bribery to win contracts for its Belt and Road Initiative.
Hunter was paid $1 million by CEFC to represent Ho, which entailed contacting his FBI sources on Ho's behalf and engaging another attorney to do the legal work, according to emails on his laptop.
CEFC paid a further $4.9 million to Hunter and Jim Biden in monthly installments for 14 months from August 2017, government records show.
The 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's 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.
Luft 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.
But he never heard from them again — and less than four weeks later, Joe Biden announced he was running for president.
"The DOJ had this information in March 2019 and did nothing," Henoch said this week from Israel, where he is fighting Luft's extradition.
"Congress has the Biden bank records but it doesn't 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."

Henoch has been speaking to congressional investigators, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) confirmed to The Post last week.
Luft 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.
In Israel, his attorney Mordechai Tzivin was quoted in the Jerusalem Post saying Luft's arrest was "a good way to shut him up because he knows a lot of information on Hunter.
"[The US Congress] only recently began to investigate Hunter's case and Gal's testimony … will bury Hunter Biden. Even more so, his testimony will shift the attention toward the president himself."
Tzivin also sensationally suggested that powerful people might want Luft to "disappear … If this would have happened in Russia, they would have carried out a 'diplomatic car crash,' but luckily, he is in a safe location where no one can hurt him."
Just when you thought the Biden family saga couldn't get any wilder.

Hot of the press from the woman who broke the Hunter Biden Lap Top story. Australia's finest columnist and writer, now with the New York Post.
Enter Dr. Gal Luft, the latest unknown player in the Biden family influence peddling enterprise.
Finally the House examines what the FBI has hidden since the 2020 election.
Quaden Bayles.
Wrong again.
Go stand in the corner
Get back to me after you soil your corner ...
How did you recall such an incident?
Ms Devine leaves a stench wherever she goes.
Not when it came to Hunter Lap Top. That was a career high water mark.
That will always be remembered as the day the media and the government censored a news story to help Joe Biden win an election. An election in which many would help Joe Biden.
Much like Aaron's.
Down here we don't like censorship
So you think TikTok should survive ...
Nope. Do you?
It's too late, Pandora has flung her wideopen box into the ethernet and Hope has sharpened her claws.
It's as irreversible as body piercing Jewelry?
Ah, to be young and stupid!
The corruption of the FBI and the Biden family just keeps coming.
For five years the FBI has kept it under wraps.
Couple this with everything else, it's time to start again from scratch.
What do you mean?
The current manning from director down to a simple general clerk, has too many problems to be even remotely considered impartial. Remove EVERYBODY and bring in replacements. Investigations and removal of individuals won't solve anything. The corruption will still be there.
Absolutely!
The same way Obama emptied the DOJ when he took office.
It's pushing a decade now.
Ah yes, you are right!
That's why I surround myself with the best people.
Awww, you like me.
Oh, that wasn't me. Did you forget who introduced us?
It's the one who kills everyone with kindness.
CEFC paid a further $4.9 million to Hunter and Jim Biden in monthly installments for 14 months from August 2017, government records show.
This is what Democrats imagined Trump did.
