Story summary

As of October 14, 2026, the US Justice Department has agreed to drop criminal charges against Sue Mi Terry, a former CIA analyst accused of working covertly for South Korea's intelligence service and receiving luxury gifts in exchange for advocating South Korean government positions during media appearances. The deal was reached just weeks before Terry’s trial on charges of acting as an unregistered foreign agent. Prosecutors filed court documents indicating that the interests of both Terry and the United States would be "best served" by this agreement, but did not provide a detailed explanation for their decision. Terry maintained her innocence throughout, arguing she was being prosecuted for typical scholarly activities in Asia. The agreement suspends prosecution for one year; if Terry remains out of legal trouble during that time, all charges will be formally dropped.
