Story summary

The Justice Department has agreed to drop criminal charges against Sue Mi Terry, a former CIA analyst and senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, who was accused of working as an unregistered foreign agent for South Korea. This decision comes weeks before her trial in US District Court in Manhattan, where she faced charges including sharing nonpublic government information and accepting luxury gifts from South Korean officials. In a statement, Terry's lawyer Lee Wolosky said she had served her country “loyally for many years” and was pleased with the outcome. The unexpected move marks an end to a high-profile case involving foreign influence in US intelligence circles.
