Democrats demand GOP turn over info on indicted think-tank leader, 'patient zero' of Biden probes

"We are concerned that an official committee of the House of Representatives has been manipulated by an apparent con man who, while a fugitive from justice, attempted to fortify his defense by laundering unfounded and potentially false allegations through Congress," Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) wrote in a letter alongside Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-N.Y.). 

Luft was arrested Feb. 17 in Cyprus but fled after being released on bail and remains a fugitive, according to court filings from the Justice Department.

"Although Mr. Luft has been on the run for months, you touted him as a 'potential witness' and even prepared to interview him as part of your investigation. As recently as Friday, you described Mr. Luft as 'a very credible witness' about matters relating to the President's son's financial dealings with Chinese companies," the two Democratic lawmakers wrote.
