Former aide to Gov. Kathy Hochul, husband arrested at Long Island home after FBI search ByAaron Katersky WABC logo Tuesday, September 3, 2024 A former aide to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul was arrested Tuesday morning at her Long Island home and charged with acting as an undisclosed agent of the Chinese government, prosecutors say. Linda Sun, 41, who held numerous posts in New York state government before rising to the rank of deputy chief of staff for Hochul, was arrested Tuesday morning along with her husband, 40-year-old Chris Hu. The FBI had searched the couple's $3.5 million Manhasset home in July, but declined to release further details at the time. Sun and Hu are expected to plead guilty when they appear in federal court on Tuesday afternoon. The charges are related to violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act and officials say Sun is charged with acting as an undisclosed agent of the People's Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party. ... Prosecutors said Sun, at the request of Chinese officials, blocked representatives of the Taiwanese government from having access to high-level officials in New York state, altered state governmental messaging on issues related to the Chinese government and attempted to facilitate a trip to China for a high-level politician in New York, among other things. Hu is charged with money laundering conspiracy, conspiracy to commit bank fraud and misuse of means of identification. abc7ny.com
