The former high-ranking aide for Gov. Kathy Hochul who was arrested along with her husband Tuesday acted as a foreign agent for China in exchange for millions of dollars in kickbacks and fancy perks such as salted duck, according to a bombshell indictment.
The damning 64-page indictment accuses Linda Sun, 41, and her husband, Christopher Hu, 40, of spending their shady gains on a gaudy new $4 million house in Manhasset, a $2 million second home in a Honolulu high-rise and luxury cars such as a 2024 Ferrari.
Sun shadily used her position under Hochul and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo — who are unnamed but clearly referenced in the court documents — to turn the governor’s office into a virtual mouthpiece for the People’s Republic of China and Chinese Community Party, the indictment contends.
At several points, Sun bragged about effectively blocking Cuomo and Hochul from making statements that arguably recognized Taiwan, including when the disputed island sent 200,000 much-needed masks to New York during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, documents state.
She also blocked representatives from Taiwan’s government from visiting the New York governor’s office, according to the documents.
