Justice Department charges 2 Chinese intel officers with trying to obstruct probe into a large U.S.

The Justice Department has unsealed charges against two Chinese intelligence officers the agency alleges worked to obstruct the DOJ's investigation of the telecommunications giant Huawei. The newly unsealed indictment against alleged People's Republic of China intelligence agents Guochun He and Zheng Wang says they "attempted to direct a person they believed they recruited as an asset" inside a U.S. government law enforcement agency, but who was actually acting as a double agent under the FBI's supervision, "to obtain confidential information regarding witnesses, trial evidence and potential new charges to be brought against [Huawei] for the purpose of obstructing justice."
