FBI investigating CIA official over contracts
BY DAN EGGEN AND CHARLES BABCOCK

WASHINGTON POST

WASHINGTON - The FBI is investigating whether a top-ranking CIA official who announced his resignation Monday steered contracts to a boyhood friend at the center of a congressional bribery scandal, law enforcement officials said.

The FBI's probe of CIA Executive Director Kyle Foggo follows an ongoing investigation by the agency's inspector general, which is examining whether Foggo was involved in CIA contracts awarded to a firm owned by San Diego defense contractor Brent Wilkes.

In a brief e-mail to CIA employees Monday, Foggo said he was stepping down as executive director. The e-mail did not say whether Foggo was leaving the CIA, but he is expected to retire.
