FORMER CIA CASE OFFICER SENTENCED FOR SPYING FOR CHINA:
On 22 November, former CIA case officer Jerry Chun Shing LEE (55) was sentenced to 19 years in prison for conspiring to communicate, deliver, and transmit national defense information to China. LEE has been connected to one of the biggest breaches in U.S. intelligence history, which compromised the U.S. intelligence network in China. Approximately 20 American agents were compromised in the breach between 2010 and 2012. These agents were either executed or imprisoned by China. On 26 April 2010, two Chinese intelligence officers approached LEE, as he was living in Hong Kong, they offered to pay (about $100,000 in cash) him for information. LEE received taskings from the intelligence officers until at least 2011.
1986: CIA officer Rick AMES has a scheduled meeting with a Soviet contact he was "developing” from the Soviet Embassy. Ames told the FBI and CIA that he was going to this meeting as part of an authorized program to try to recruit Soviets in Washington.
“In just over a year, we have convicted three Americans for committing espionage offenses on behalf of the Chinese government. Each has now received a sentence of at least a decade. Sadly, all three of them are former members of the U.S. Intelligence Community. These convictions and sentences should send a strong message to current and former security clearance holders: be aware that the Chinese government targets you -- and if you betray us, be aware that the Department of Justice will hold you accountable.” - Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers on the sentencing of former CIA case officer Jerry Chun Shing LEE to 19 years in prison on 22 November 2019.
