A former aide to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been charged with acting as an agent for the Chinese government, according to US Attorney Breon Peace. Linda Sun, a former deputy chief of staff to Hochul and Cuomo aide, faces charges including violating the Foreign Agents Registrations Act, visa fraud, alien smuggling, and money laundering conspiracy.
Sun's husband, Chris Hu, is also facing charges of money laundering conspiracy, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and misusing means of identification. The couple was arrested at their Long Island residence after federal investigators raided their home in July.
