Summary

A former aide to New York Governor Kathy Hochul, Linda Sun, pleased not guilty in a federal court to acting as an agent for the Chinese government. Sun and her husband were arrested this week at their multi-million-dollar Long Island home. Prosecutors say Sun blocked Taiwanese officials from having access to the governor’s office and shaped messaging to align with Beijing's policies in exchange for benefits worth millions of dollars. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Nate Foy, FOX News correspondent based in New York, about the charges brought on the former aide and what happens now.
