She came to public attention when her relationship with Donald Keyser, an official of the United States Department of State, became part of criminal charges against Keyser in 2005, Keyser pleaded guilty to lying about the relationship, and to unauthorized possession of secret documents. Keyser has not been charged with espionage, however. While in the United States, Cheng was operating from the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Washington, but has since been called back to Taiwan.[1] Cheng assisted the FBI in their investigation of Keyser.[2]
