ABC News is reporting that Linda Sun, a former aide to Governor Kathy Hochul, and her husband, Chris Hu, were arrested Tuesday morning at their Long Island home.
The FBI had searched the Manhasset home in July. Officials have not alleged Hochul or Sun’s work in the governor’s office is connected to the arrest in any way.
Avi Small, Hochul’s press secretary, said in a statement to ABC News, “This individual was hired by the Executive Chamber more than a decade ago. We terminated her employment in March 2023 after discovering evidence of misconduct, immediately reported her actions to law enforcement, and have assisted law enforcement throughout this process.”
Authorities say Sun was fired from her job as deputy commissioner for strategic business development for the New York State Department of Labor.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
