#1 out of 1

Accused Chinese agent Linda Sun boasted Gov. Hochul ‘much more obedient’ than Andrew Cuomo

Sun claimed Hochul was 'much more obedient' than Cuomo in a January 2021 message to a Chinese official.
The messages indicate Sun sought Hochul’s participation in a Lunar New Year video for the Chinese consulate.
Prosecutors tied Sun to a broader corruption scheme involving favors for Chinese officials and a seafood business.
Sun had been fired from state government in 2023 amid misconduct allegations, and has pleaded not guilty.
The trial photo and texts were presented in Brooklyn federal court as part of the case against Sun.
Hochul’s involvement was framed within Sun’s broader effort to influence state officials for China.
Sun’s husband is alleged to have benefited from the scheme, including a luxury car and homes.
Sun was dismissed from state service in 2023 amid misconduct claims and faces multiple charges.
The court presentation occurred amid ongoing coverage of the Sun case and related corruption probes.
The trial emphasized Sun’s influence attempts within New York state governance during Cuomo and Hochul administrations.
