Federal authorities have abandoned the case against former NYPD officer Baimadajie Angwang, who was accused of spying for China. The charges were dropped last month, with prosecutors citing a “holistic” assessment of the evidence, but the case’s unraveling has left Angwang living under a cloud of doubt.
Angwang, a naturalized U.S. citizen, Marine Corps veteran, and former officer, spent months in jail over what he claims were misunderstood phone calls and classified evidence that even his lawyer was never able to fully review. Rebecca Davis O’Brien explores the complexities of the case for a New York Times article that asks the question: can a police officer accused of spying ever clear his name?
