NEW YORK CITY—A federal judge in the New York City borough of Brooklyn on Dec. 22 declared a mistrial over a Chinese foreign agent case against Linda Sun, former aide to New York governors, after jurors failed to reach a verdict.

Sun faces 19 charges, including acting as a Chinese agent, bribery in connection with state contracts, money laundering, and visa fraud. Her husband, Chris Hu, was charged with money laundering, misuse of someone else’s identification, bank fraud, and tax evasion.
