A former top aide to New York Governor Kathy Hochul enjoyed a life of luxury because she was an undeclared agent for China, federal prosecutors have claimed.
Linda Sun, 41, is accused of acting as an unregistered operative for the Chinese Communist Party and using her position to influence Hochul and ex-Governor Andrew Cuomo into actions favorable to Beijing.
Sun earned a government salary of $145,000, but was also receiving millions of dollars from side deals arranged by Chinese officials, prosecutors told her trial Monday.
She and her husband Chris Hu used cash to purchase a $3.6 million mansion in Long Island, $1.9 million condo in Hawaii and a 2024 Ferrari Roma, which sells for at least $243,300, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Sun allegedly indulged in Nanjing-style salted duck dinners prepared by the Chinese consulate chef and was regularly acquainted with Communist Party insiders.
She made frequent visits back to China and even celebrated the Communist Party's 70th year in power at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, the court heard.
Prosecutors allege Sun received funds from China, which were then siphoned through Hu's businesses. The couple are also accused of generating $2.3 million in kickbacks on personal-protection equipment imports during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Sun is charged with violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, visa fraud, bank fraud and money laundering. She denies all wrongdoing.
Sun, who joined Cuomo's staff in 2012, is standing trial this week in connection to the offenses.
Jury selection kicked off in federal court in Brooklyn on Monday, with potential jurors reportedly being asked about their potential biases towards China and Taiwan.
The juror questionnaire asked 'do you have any strong opinions or views about the People's Republic of China?', Courthouse News reported.

Leftists are so unconcerned about punishment for corruption that they openly flaunt the spoils.

so, how much of the PCP kick backs ended up in cuomo's account while he was dealing with C-19?
Just like:
1. Senator Feinstein’s Chinese limo driver for 20 years.
2. Swalwell’s Chinese side-squeeze Bang-Bang.
We know about the Senate, the House, and now Albany. How many other places have the Chinese infiltrated that we DON’T know about? There are LOTS more.
The Communist party knows the first place to go to get results in America is the democrat party.
Linda and Chris ? What are their Chinese names ?
Just look at Nazi Piglosi.
The Communist party knows the first place to go to get results in America is the democrat party.
That’s why they haven’t ran a candidate since Gus Hall. They just simply endorse the Democratic Party candidate.
She gets time served, community service, and a $1,000 fine. Has to wear ankle monitor for 6 weeks. Gets job working for Mamdani ...
Communist and mansion, how does that jive? Send these people to the gallows for being complete phonies.
Its the CCP, not CPA. The CCP does not run candidates who when out of favor disappear. In the US, they just buy candidates or office holders.
Clinton and John Huang
Al Gore and the Monks at Hsi Lai Temple in LA.
Someone made a decision that she was the best person for the job. It must be a tight labor market.
Yes
.....and Trump wants to bring 600,000 CCP students into the US to spy for the Chi Coms.
Ya, but let’s let 600,000 of them get educated here. Great idea.
China is our enemy; anyone that believes otherwise is an idiot, a fool, or both.
