Linda Sun, Former Kathy Hochul Aide, Arrested Months After FBI Raid
Months after the FBI raided her home, Linda Sun, a former aide to New York Governor Kathy Hochul, has been arrested.
Sun was taken into custody on October 24 on charges of wire fraud and making false statements.
The charges stem from an investigation into Sun's time as a consultant for the state's economic development agency, Empire State Development.
According to the indictment, Sun lied about her work experience and inflated her salary while working for the agency. She is also accused of defrauding the state by submitting false invoices for work that was never done.
Sun's arrest is the latest development in a widening investigation into corruption within the Hochul administration. Several other former aides to the governor have been charged with crimes in recent months.
Sun's arrest is a reminder of the importance of ethical conduct in government.
Public officials must be held accountable for their actions, and those who break the law must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
The investigation into corruption within the Hochul administration is ongoing, and it is likely that more charges will be filed in the coming months.
Here is a timeline of events leading up to Sun's arrest:
- August 2022: The FBI raids Sun's home.
- October 2022: Sun is arrested on charges of wire fraud and making false statements.
