FBI informant: An article in the Sept. 14 California section on former FBI agent Rita Chiang said that longtime FBI informant Katrina Leung “compromised national security” when she worked with the federal agency in Los Angeles. The statement should have been attributed to the FBI, which originally suspected Leung of being a spy for China. Leung was charged with unauthorized copying of national defense information, but the charge was later dismissed and she pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and filing a false tax return. Leung was sentenced to three years’ probation and fined $10,000.
