Linda Sun, a former deputy chief of staff to New York governors, was charged with acting as a secret agent for the Chinese government, marking a significant breach of trust and national security concern.
The couple's indictment highlights rising scrutiny of foreign influence operations in the U.S., amid increasing tensions with China over espionage and influence efforts.
Prosecutors claim Sun and her husband conspired to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act and engaged in money laundering, raising alarms about embedded foreign agents within U.S. government.
Federal investigators raided Sun's residence in July, discovering evidence tracing her clandestine activities that allegedly undermined U.S. integrity and governance.
