This sentence is inaccurate because it identifies Katrina Leung as someone "convicted of traditional espionage." The Department of Justice's own press release on her guilty plea says Leung pleaded guilty to two felony charges only: making false statements to the FBI and subscribing to a false tax return. A DOJ Inspector General report likewise states that on December 16, 2005, she pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and filing a false federal tax return. Those are not espionage convictions. Because the sentence presents Leung as one of the people convicted of espionage, the statement is factually wrong.

This description misstates Yanjun Xu's position. U.S. Justice Department materials consistently identified Xu as a Deputy Division Director of the Sixth Bureau of the Jiangsu Province Ministry of State Security, not as China's Deputy Minister of State Security. Those are very different roles: one is a provincial bureau position, while the deputy minister is a top national leadership post. The article therefore inflates Xu's title beyond what prosecutors said.

The date here is wrong. The Department of Justice press release announcing the case states that the FBI arrested Candace Claiborne on March 28, 2017. DOJ's FY2017 performance report likewise describes the case as arising in March 2017. So the article's statement that this happened "During January 2017" is inaccurate by about two months.

The year is wrong. The Department of Justice announced Ashley Tellis's arrest and the allegation that he unlawfully retained classified national defense information on October 21, 2025. That DOJ release says he was arrested on October 11, 2025 and that investigators recovered over 1,000 pages of classified documents from his residence. Because the case was brought in 2025, the article's statement that this happened "In 2023" is incorrect.
