FBI Arrests NY Governor's Aide Linda Sun for Spying for China
Sep 8, 2024, 07:01 PM
Linda Sun, a former aide to New York Governor Kathy Hochul, has been arrested by the FBI on charges of spying for Beijing. According to the Justice Department, Sun allegedly received direct orders and bribes from a top Chinese diplomat. She is also accused of allowing a Chinese consular official to secretly listen to a New York state Covid response conference call in March 2020. Following her arrest, it was announced that the New York Chinese consul general was no longer in his position, coinciding with a request from Governor Hochul to the State Department to expel him. Additionally, Queens Assemblyman Ron Kim has claimed that groups tied to the Chinese Communist Party attempted to unseat him in the June Democratic primary. In 2018, Sun visited Beijing, where a Chinese businessman based in the US made travel arrangements for her and reserved a presidential suite once used by First Lady Michelle Obama.
