The office of Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul was infiltrated by an agent working for the communist Chinese government, according to the FBI. On Tuesday, the U.S. Attorney's Office announced the arrest of Linda Sun for allegedly acting on "behalf of the government of the People’s Republic of China." 'The illicit scheme enriched the defendant’s family to the tune of millions of dollars.' Sun worked for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and as the deputy chief for the current governor. She is accused of money laundering conspiracy, violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and alien smuggling. Sun's husband, Chris Hu, was also arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and misuse by means of identification. The couple was arrested Tuesday morning at their $3.5 million home on Long Island. Prosecutors said that Sun used her position to craft New York's messaging to fit the goals of the Chinese government. She also allegedly blocked representatives of the Taiwanese government from access to New York state officials as well as other acts to further China's agenda. In exchange, the couple allegedly received millions of dollars and lavish gifts. Officials also claimed that the Chinese government sent “Nanjing-style salted ducks” to the home of Sun's parents. “The illicit scheme enriched the defendant’s family to the tune of millions of dollars," said United States attorney Breon Peace. Sun was required to register as an agent of a foreign government by federal and state law but failed to do so, according to prosecutors.A statement from Hochul's office said Sun was fired in 2023. “This individual was hired by the Executive Chamber more than a decade ago. We terminated her employment in March 2023 after discovering evidence of misconduct, immediately reported her actions to law enforcement and have assisted law enforcement throughout this process,” read the statement. Sun also worked as the chief diversity officer in Cuomo's administration. Hochul was elevated to the governor's office in 2021 after Cuomo resigned over numerous allegations and controversies. She was elected to the office in 2022 and has announced she's running for re-election in 2026. Like Blaze News?

Efforts by the Freedom Caucus to risk a government shutdown in order to pass a voter integrity bill are opposed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's office, according to a report. Republicans and Democrats will have to come together on a continuing resolution by Sept. 30 in order to avoid a government shutdown, but some Republicans want to tie the motion to a bill requiring proof of citizenship to vote. 'The most imminent threat facing the country, is the integrity of this election cycle.' The legislation is called the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility act, or SAVE for short. The Hill report said that Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana is considering attaching the act to the budget resolution. “I can verify for you that the SAVE Act is a big part of this conversation,” said Johnson. “And it is not just the Freedom Caucus — it is members across the conference who share the same concern that we do about this," he added. "And we believe it’s one of the — perhaps the most urgent issue, the most imminent threat facing the country, is the integrity of this election cycle.” However, Axios reported that McConnell's office has cautioned Johnson against including the motion because of the risk that Democrats would respond by adding their own motions to the resolution. Among those might be the John Lewis Voting Rights act, which is being prioritized by Democrats. President Joe Biden has said he strongly opposes the bill to protect voter integrity, and Democrats control the Senate, making the bill difficult to pass. It was approved in the Republican-controlled House in July with support from five Democrats and all present Republicans. The Biden administration has previously said it opposes the bill because it supposedly makes voting more difficult for some Americans. "This bill would do nothing to safeguard our elections, but it would make it much harder for all eligible Americans to register to vote and increase the risk that eligible voters are purged from voter rolls," read a statement from the White House. "The evidence is clear that the current laws to prevent noncitizen voting are working as intended — it is extraordinarily rare for noncitizens to break the law by voting in federal elections."
