"In total, the amount of gifts, money, services Claiborne and [her relative] received during the period of the conspiracy, combined with Claiborne's Department of State salary, well exceeded $550,000," the statement said.

Investigators stated that Claiborne lied on security forms required for security clearance renewals and also during security debriefings about her secret work for MSS.

The statement did not say how the FBI first learned of Claiborne's spying activities.

However, the FBI confirmed the activities using an undercover agent who posed as an MSS officer in January 2017. She was arrested two months later.

Beginning in 2000, Claiborne worked at the Beijing Embassy for the economic minister counselor and the security engineering center, a position that provided her with access to U.S. secrets on economic relations and security matters.

She left Beijing for another assignment in June 2003 and was posted to the U.S. Consulate in Shanghai through 2007.

Claiborne again left China after the Shanghai posting and returned in late 2009 when she worked in both Beijing and Shanghai until July 2012.

reminds me of the Chinese Spy that was working with Diane Feinstein for the last 20 years.
