Former CIA Analyst Married to Washington Post Columnist Charged With Espionage, Wrote Opinion Pieces for Wapo at Request of South Korean Government
A former CIA analyst has been charged with espionage.
Sue Mi Terry, 54, who was an analyst of Korean Affairs for the CIA, has been charged with acting as a foreign agent for South Korea.
The indictment alleges Terry, who was born in South Korea and later became a naturalized U.S. citizen, “failed to register as a foreign agent and conspired to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act.”
Prosecutors claim Terry received extravagant gifts and covert funding from South Korea’s intelligence agency in exchange for confidential information and promoting their policies.
Terry, who is the wife of Washington Post Columnist Max Boot, is also being accused of writing opinion pieces for the Washington Post on behalf of the South Korean Government.
