“He said, ‘I had no idea that she was a spy,’ and I really, and I really believe him.” Huang admitted Sunday that he had been unfaithful to his wife and said he would cooperate with the investigation, but did not directly address allegations that the affair was part of a honeypot operation.
Prosecutors expect a 17-week trial and previously said they could be ready by October 2027.
“Now I wasn’t on the ballot; I shouldn’t take anything personally, but I will tell you I thought it was ridiculous,” he said.
“We will delete it from ring, but as you know, unfortunately, videos are never totally deleted,” McDevitt eventually responded, according to the complaint.
“Championing those most in need has been my life’s calling, and I will never stop fighting to make a difference for the people who mean so much to me,” he said at the time.
