The Washington Post placed editor's notes on Thursday atop several opinion articles that were written or co-authored by Sue Mi Terry, a former CIA analyst charged this week with being an unregistered foreign agent for the South Korean government.
"On July 16, a federal indictment was made public alleging that Sue Mi Terry had acted as an unregistered agent of the South Korean government beginning in 2013," the note says atop pieces with Terry's byline. "If true, this is information that would have been pertinent for The Post’s publication decision. Ms. Terry has denied these charges and has asserted through counsel that the allegations in the indictment are unfounded."
Terry, 54, was hit with charges of "failing to register as a foreign agent and conspiring to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act" by the Southern District of New York on Tuesday. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said Terry allegedly "subverted foreign agent registration laws in order to provide South Korean intelligence officers with access, information, and advocacy. Terry allegedly sold out her positions and influence to the South Korean government in return for luxury handbags, expensive meals, and thousands of dollars of funding for her public policy program."
