Former CIA analyst and wife of Washington Post columnist Max Boot, Sue Mi Terry, has been charged with espionage by the Justice Department. Terry, who is also a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, is accused of working as an agent for South Korea in exchange for luxury gifts and covert funding.
According to the criminal indictment made public in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday, Terry failed to register as a foreign agent and conspired to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Prosecutors allege that Terry promoted South Korea's policy positions, disclosed nonpublic government information, and wrote opinion pieces at the request of South Korean officials.
The indictment also alleges that Terry received lavish gifts, including Bottega Veneta and Louis Vuitton handbags, as well as a Dolce & Gabbana coat. She was also treated to meals at Michelin-starred restaurants and received over $37,000 in covert funding for a public policy program focusing on Korean affairs.
Despite the allegations, Terry's lawyer, Lee Wolosky, denies the charges, stating that they are "unfounded and distort the work of a scholar and news analyst known for her independence and years of service to the United States." The Council on Foreign Relations has placed Terry on unpaid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
This case raises serious concerns about foreign influence in American politics and media. It is crucial that individuals who work for foreign governments register as foreign agents and disclose their activities. Failure to do so undermines the integrity of our political system and the public's trust in our institutions.
The Justice Department must investigate this matter thoroughly and hold those responsible accountable for their actions. The American people deserve transparency and honesty from their government and media. We will continue to follow this story as it develops.
