DJ FBI Searches Home, Office Of Outgoing CIA Executive Dir
WASHINGTON (AP)--Law enforcement officials executed search warrants Friday on the house and office of CIA's outgoing executive director, the FBI said.
The agency's third-ranking official, Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, has been under investigation by the FBI, IRS, Defense Criminal Investigative Service and the CIA's inspector general, said FBI spokeswoman April Langwell in San Diego.
Under a sealed warrant, officials searched Foggo's Virginia home and his office at the CIA's Langley, Va., campus, Langwell said. She could provide no other details.
The FBI and other agencies have been investigating whether Foggo improperly intervened in the award of contracts to a San Diego businessman and personal friend, Brent Wilkes, who has been implicated in a congressional bribery scandal.
In a statement, CIA spokeswoman Jennifer Millerwise Dyck also confirmed the searches of Foggo's home and office on Friday morning.
"The agency is cooperating fully with the Department of Justice and the FBI," she said. "Agency leaders outside of the (inspector general's office) were informed just prior to the execution of the search warrants, in keeping with standard law enforcement procedures."
