WASHINGTON - 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.
That would be the Randy 'Duke' Cunningham scandal that has very far-reaching tentacles all over Washington and around the country and which many believe has something to do with CIA director Porter Goss's resignation just last week.
You can hear the sound of crickets chirping in the right-wing blogosphere.
The Washington Post's David Ignatius has more about Foggo in his column 'How the CIA Came Unglued'.
