Newsweek's Michael Isakoff reports reports that Katrina Leung was instrumental in the Justice Department's 1996 investigation into campaign contributions to then President Clinton and Vice President Gore. She was supposed to be an agent for the U.S, trying to lure a large Chinese contributor back to the U.S. Now, there are doubts--was she compromising the campaign financing investigation and actually working to protect the Chinese contributor?
Another dimension to the case involves FBI Agent Smith, Leung's handler and lover. It turns out Smith was also the agent in charge of debriefing and maintaining contact with Johnny Chung, a key figure in the 1996 campaign fund-raising scandal who cooperated in the Justice Department's probe after pleading guilty to tax evasion and violations of campaign finance laws.
