A former senior official of the White House National Security Council who also once worked as an analyst for the CIA has been indicted on criminal charges accusing her of working as an agent for the government of South Korea allegedly in exchange for luxury gifts including designer handbags.
Sue Mi Terry, the wife of Washington Post columnist Max Boot, was charged with failing to register as a foreign agent and conspiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act, according to an indictment made public Tuesday in Manhattan federal court. Prosecutors allege that Terry promoted South Korea’s policy positions, disclosed nonpublic U.S. government information to South Korean intelligence officers, and facilitated access for South Korean government officials to their American counterparts.

One editorial named in the indictment is co-authored with Boot, who is not charged with any crime. Prosecutors argue the article was published without disclosing Korean government involvement.
...The Council on Foreign Relations, where Terry is a senior fellow, has placed her on unpaid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
