Former CIA Analyst Indicted on Charges of Secretly Working for South Korea

Sue Mi Terry, a former US National Security Council member and CIA analyst, has been indicted on charges of secretly working for the South Korean government. According to prosecutors, Terry accepted luxury goods, including expensive handbags and dinners at sushi restaurants, in exchange for advocating for South Korean policy positions. She also admitted to serving as a source of information for South Korean intelligence and covertly paid over $37,000 for a public policy program. Terry allegedly passed non-public US government information to South Korean intelligence operatives, lobbied for policy positions favorable to Seoul, and arranged access for Korean officials to their counterparts in Washington. The indictment suggests that Terry's activities were part of a broader effort by the South Korean government to influence US policy decisions.
