Linda Sun Faces Trial for Pandemic Fraud Charges

Linda Sun, former New York governor aide, trials for selling influence and profiting from PPE procurement during COVID-19.
Sun and Chris Hu arrested last year for alleged secret agent ties, but no espionage charges.
Prosecutors claim Sun acted at Chinese officials' request to block Taiwanese representatives.
Sun connected New York to Chinese vendors, including her cousin's firm, funneling $2.3M to Hu.
Sun and Hu pleaded not guilty to FARA violations, money laundering, and visa fraud.
Trial expected to last several weeks, with Judge Brian Cogan overseeing proceedings.
