| [Just The News] An American journalist was sentenced Tuesday to two years in prison after he confessed to helping the Chinese government gather "secrets" in the United States. Thomas Pauken II, who previously lived in China for more than a decade, prepared confidential reports for a contact in China, according to an affidavit from May. The handler allegedly told Pauken that his reports were being sent to Chinese President Xi Jinping. Pauken was arrested by the FBI in February at a Washington hotel after allegedly encouraging a Trump administration official to make contact with a woman in China he believed to be a Chinese intelligence agent. He pleaded guilty in June to acting as an unregistered agent for China in the U.S. |
