"Gregory S Smith, a Washington attorney and former associate White House counsel to President Bill Clinton, told Reuters he has been retained by Ling Wancheng. He said that Ling Wancheng is in the United States but declined to say whether his client has applied for asylum and whether he is talking to US authorities.
"the recent allegations * * * had appeared in the Washington Free Beacon and later in the Financial Times. * * * Bill Gertz, senior editor at the Washington Free Beacon and author of a February 3 article that Ling Wancheng disputes, said of Ling Wancheng’s denials: 'I have no comment.' The Financial Times did not respond to email requests for comment.
"US officials have consistently declined to answer questions about Ling Wancheng, including whether he has applied for asylum and whether he has been debriefed by government agents.
