Linda Sun, the disgraced former...

It’s Ms. Sun goes to Washington. The alleged Chinese spy who infiltrated the New York governor’s office was able to get into the White House — while under federal investigation, The Post has learned. Linda Sun’s tour of the Executive Mansion came just two months before the FBI raided her gaudy $3.5 million Long Island home as they wrapped up their case into her alleged work for Beijing. The May visit was facilitated by Sun’s former boss Queens Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY), the congresswoman’s office confirmed Friday. Sun — a former high-ranking aide for Gov. Kathy Hochul and former Gov....

Queens state Assemblyman Ron Kim says groups tied to the Chinese Community Party tried to topple him and steal his predominantly Asian-populated seat in the June Democratic primary. “There were clear patterns of foreign influence trying to dictate the outcome of the election — groups with ties to mainland China and the CCP [Chinese Communist Party]. They were trying to steal the Flushing seat,” Kim told The Post. “It’s a very layered operation. We’re entering dangerous territory. I don’t know how we can stop it,” he said. Kim, a Korean-American, is speaking out after the stunning arrest of Linda Sun,...

Several New York Republicans are calling for an investigation into New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) after the arrest of a former top aide for working as an agent of influence of China. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), and Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) were among the Republicans who have called for an investigation surrounding Linda Sun, 41, and her husband, Chris Hu, after federal prosecutors unsealed an indictment charging Sun, a naturalized American citizen who was born in China, conspiring to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act, failure to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, money...

The 64-page indictment accuses Linda Sun, 41, who was arrested that morning along with her husband, Christopher Hu, 40, of blocking representatives from Taiwan’s governor from visiting the New York governor’s office. She also skewed public statements by unnamed “executive” officials, who appear to be Hochul and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, toward Chinese-friendly positions. Sun and Hu also laundered kickbacks she received from the People’s Republic of China and Chinese Communist Party...
