A former US Central Intelligence Agency analyst, Sue Mi Terry, has been indicted by a New York grand jury for allegedly acting as a spy for the South Korean government in exchange for luxury items, bags, and fancy meals. The charges include failing to register as a foreign agent and conspiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act, with Ms. Terry also accused of acting as an agent for the South Korean government without registering as a foreign agent with American officials. As a prominent US expert on North Korea, Ms. Terry worked as a senior official for the White House National Security Council, but now faces allegations of espionage. The Council on Foreign Relations, where Ms. Terry is a senior fellow on Asia, has placed her on unpaid leave and removed her biography from its website, while her attorney denied the charges as “unfounded,” claiming she was a critic of the South Korean government. Ms. Terry has denied the charges and continues to assert her innocence, as the case unfolds and raises questions about foreign influence and espionage within the US government.
