Date:

The mayor of Arcadia, California, a small town outside Los Angeles, 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 on May 11 within hours of her case going public, is accused of secretly carrying out tasks for the CCP while in her capacity as mayor, and she’s not alone in these accusations—her former fiancé and campaign treasurer, Yaoning “Mike” Sun, has already been convicted on the same charge.
