‘A betrayal of trust’: Kathy Hochul tries to shift blame after her aide found to be agent of Chinese Communist Party
“I’m furious and I’m outraged and I’m absolutely shocked at how brazen her behavior was.”

Hochul insisted she’s doing everything possible to reveal how Sun managed to evade being exposed for so long. “We’ve been working with the Department of Justice in this investigation, and we’ll continue to make sure that all the information that’s out there is revealed and that justice is served,” she said.
Hochul was interviewed just after Sun, 41, and her 40-year-old husband, Chris Hu, pleaded not guilty to violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, visa fraud, smuggling, and money laundering.
The indictment alleges that Sun used her position to assist her husband’s business in medical equipment to reap profits from the Covid pandemic. The indictment also accuses Sun of accepting gifts to improve the relationship between New York state and communist China. Cuomo hired Sun in 2012, where she worked in a variety of senior positions during his tenure as governor. Hochul appointed Sun as her deputy chief of staff in 2021.
