Linda Sun, a former aide to two New York governors, faces new allegations related to charges that she used her position to benefit the Chinese government, according to a superseding indictment against Ms. Sun and her husband unsealed Tuesday.

根据周二公布的针对孙雯及其丈夫的起诉书,曾任纽约州两任州长助手的孙雯面临新的指控,涉及利用职务之便为中国政府谋利。

Ms. Sun, who served as Gov. Kathy Hochul’s deputy chief of staff and in lower-level positions in the administration of her predecessor, Andrew M. Cuomo, is accused of bribery and violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, according to the indictment, unsealed in Federal District Court in Brooklyn. While the indictment does not include new criminal charges against Ms. Sun, prosecutors charged her husband, Chris Hu, with three new counts of money laundering.

孙雯曾担任州长凯西·霍格尔的副幕僚长,并在前一任州长安德鲁·库莫的政府中担任较低级别的职位。根据布鲁克林联邦地区法院公布的起诉书,她被指控行贿,以及违反《外国代理人登记法》。起诉书不包括对孙雯新的刑事指控,但检察官对她的丈夫胡骁提出了三项新的洗钱指控。

Both defendants pleaded not guilty during a hearing Tuesday before Judge Brian M. Cogan, who suggested he would hold another hearing in two months to set a trial date.

在周二的听证会上,两名被告均向法官布莱恩·科根表示不认罪,科根提出,他将在两个月后再举行一次听证会,以确定审判日期。

A lawyer for Ms. Sun, Jarrod L. Schaeffer, said that the new indictment did not “remedy critical errors already identified in the prior indictment.” Seth DuCharme, a lawyer for Mr. Hu, said that the new charges were not a surprise and that they didn’t “add much” to the case.

孙雯的律师贾罗德·谢弗表示,新的起诉书并没有“纠正之前起诉书中已经发现的重大错误”。胡骁的律师赛斯·杜夏姆称,新的指控并不令人意外,它们并没有给案件“带来什么影响”。

In September, federal prosecutors from the Eastern District of New York charged Mr. Hu with money laundering and Ms. Sun with 10 criminal counts, including money laundering, visa fraud and failing to register as a foreign agent. Prosecutors accused Ms. Sun of discreetly acting as an agent for Beijing, using her government position to benefit the Chinese Communist Party.

去年9月,纽约东区的联邦检察官指控胡骁洗钱,指控孙雯犯有10项刑事罪名,包括洗钱、签证欺诈和未注册为外国代理人。检察官指控孙雯秘密充当北京的代理人,利用政府职位为中共谋利。

According to prosecutors, Ms. Sun accepted lavish gifts — including repeated shipments of salted ducks — in exchange for removing references to Taiwan from New York State communications, blocking Taiwanese officials from the governor’s office and stopping those officials from meeting with state leaders.

检方称,孙雯接受了大量厚礼,包括多次送上门的盐水鸭,作为交换,她从纽约州政府的通讯中删除了有关台湾的内容,阻止台湾官员进入州长办公室,并阻止这些官员与州领导会面。

Ms. Sun also used her role to ensure that Ms. Hochul did not publicly discuss the plight of the Uyghurs, a primarily Muslim ethnic group in China that has faced persecution from the Communist Party, prosecutors said.

检察官称,孙雯还利用自己的角色确保霍格尔不公开讨论维吾尔人的困境。维吾尔人是中国一个以穆斯林为主的民族,面临着共产党的迫害。

Justice Department officials, particularly prosecutors in the Eastern District, have cracked down in recent years on Beijing’s clandestine efforts to influence U.S. policy and suppress dissidents. In August, Shujun Wang, a Queens man, was convicted of spying on Chinese dissidents. In December, a man pleaded guilty to running a secret police outpost in Manhattan on behalf of the Chinese government.

近年来,司法部官员,特别是东区的检察官,一直在打击北京影响美国政策和镇压异见人士的秘密活动。去年8月,皇后区男子王书军因监视中国异见人士被判有罪。去年12月,一名男子认罪,承认代表中国政府在曼哈顿经营一个秘密警务站。

Pam Bondi, President Trump’s newly confirmed attorney general, issued a memo last week calling on prosecutors to tamp down their enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which has been used to target Chinese influence-peddling. Prosecutors in recent years have used the law to charge people, including Ms. Sun and Michael Flynn, Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser, with secretly working on behalf of foreign governments.

特朗普总统新任命的司法部长帕姆·邦迪上周发布了一份备忘录,呼吁检察官减轻对《外国代理人登记法》的执行力度,该法案已被用来打击中国的政治影响力。近年来,检察官利用这项法律指控孙雯和特朗普的前国家安全顾问迈克尔·弗林等人秘密为外国政府工作。
