Former Hochul Aide and Husband Arrested on Federal Charges for Acting as Chinese Agents
Sep 3, 2024, 04:25 PM
Linda Sun, a former deputy chief of staff to New York Governor Kathy Hochul, was arrested by the FBI on federal charges, including acting as an undisclosed agent of the Chinese government and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Sun and her husband, Christopher Hu, were detained following a raid on their $3.5 million Long Island home as part of a corruption investigation. The indictment alleges that Sun engaged in activities to further the interests of the CCP, including blocking Taiwanese officials from accessing New York state officials, altering state messaging on China-related issues, and facilitating unauthorized communications with Chinese diplomats. Sun's actions reportedly included money laundering, visa fraud, and alien smuggling. The charges highlight concerns about Chinese influence within U.S. state governments. Sun had also worked under former Governor Andrew Cuomo and allegedly received millions of dollars for her activities.
