Here in New York, federal prosecutors have indicted a former aide to Governors Kathy Hochul and Andrew Cuomo on charges of acting as an agent for the Chinese government. The U.S. Attorney’s Office alleges Linda Sun, a former deputy chief of staff to Governor Hochul, worked as an undisclosed agent of the Chinese government while her husband helped launder millions of dollars in kickbacks for personal gain. The 10-count criminal indictment also alleges Sun thwarted efforts by Taiwanese officials to speak to New York’s governor and eliminated references to Taiwan and China’s persecution of Uyghur Muslims from state communications. Hochul’s office says the governor fired Sun in March of 2023 after discovering evidence of misconduct.
