Ex-Gov. Kathy Hochul & Cuomo Aide, Arrested In Corruption Probe

A former aide to Gov. Kathy Hochul was arrested along with her husband Tuesday morning after their Long Island home was raided by the feds earlier this year, the FBI said. Linda Sun and her husband, Christopher Hu, were arrested on Long Island, the FBI confirmed to The Post. The charges remained under seal. Sun and Hu are set to be arraigned Tuesday afternoon. Law enforcement sources say the arrest was part of a corruption probe unrelated to the governor. Sun was first hired to work in the governor’s office by then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Sun was fired from her job at the state Department of Labor after “evidence of misconduct” was discovered, The Post was first to report earlier this year. A $3.5 million home in Manhasset belonging to Sun and Hu was raided by the FBI in July. Hu owned and ran a liquor store in Flushing, Queens, as well as several other business ventures, including an LLC involved in medical equipment that popped up around the pandemic. Sources say Sun has close ties to Queens Democrats, especially Asian-American lawmakers. She was an ally and high-ranking staffer to then Assemblywoman Grace Meng (D-NY) before Meng was elected to the US House of Representatives.
