The head of a U.S. think tank who has been charged with acting as an unregistered agent of China was linked to a former top CIA official who worked on Donald Trump's 2016 campaign team, it has been revealed.

Gal Luft is co-director of the Maryland-based Institute for the Analysis of Global Security. He has been charged with allegedly brokering deals involving weapons and Iranian oil with high-ranking U.S government officials without registering as a foreign agent.

Luft was previously believed to be a key figure in House Republicans' probe into the Biden family's alleged corrupt foreign business dealings, although was reported "missing" by GOP figures. Prosecutors have said that Luft was arrested on February 17, but subsequently fled after being released on bail and remains a fugitive.

One of the officials whom Luft is accused of covertly attempting to "recruit and pay, on behalf of principals based in China" was an adviser to the then President-elect Donald Trump, according to a 58-page indictment.

While he is not named in the indictment, the official is believed to be former CIA Director James Woolsey, who was a national security adviser to Trump during the 2016 election, reported the New York Post and The Messenger.
