Abstract: 

        On July 17, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the arrest of former government official, Sue Mi Terry, who allegedly accepted luxury gifts from South Korean intelligence officers in exchange for U.S. government information. According to court documents, Terry worked in the Central Intelligence Agency and was a senior White House National Security Council official for over a decade. On July 16, she was indicted by a Grand Jury for having allegedly served as an agent of the Government of the Republic of Korea (ROK) without registering as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
