Good afternoon. I am joined today by Deputy Attorney General Monaco, FBI Director Wray, and Assistant Attorney General Olsen. Also here are Assistant United States Attorneys from the Eastern District of New York and the District of New Jersey.
Over the past week, the Justice Department has taken several actions to disrupt criminal activity by individuals working on behalf of the government of the People’s Republic of China. As always, the defendants in these cases are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
