The mayor of Arcadia, California, has agreed with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to plead guilty to acting as an agent for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Eileen Wang, who resigned within hours of her case going public on May 11, is accused of secretly carrying out tasks for the CCP between 2020 and 2022. In November 2022, she was elected to the Arcadia City Council.
