Former White House employee, CIA analyst accused of spying for South Korea, feds say
Sue Mi Terry, a 54-year-old former senior White House employee and CIA analyst, is accused of spying for South Korea in exchange for goods from Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta and Dolce & Gabbana.
She was arrested Tuesday and charged with one count of conspiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, and one count of failure to register under FARA, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, according to federal prosecutors.
“Dr. Terry has not held a security clearance for over a decade and her views on matters relating to the Korean peninsula have been consistent over many years,” the statement continued.
“In fact, she was a harsh critic of the South Korean government during times this indictment alleges that she was acting on its behalf. Â
Once the facts are made clear it will be evident the government made a significant mistake.”
