Former CIA Official Charged with Theft of Gold Bars Linked to Trump Ally
David Rush, a former high-level CIA official, has been charged with stealing $40 million in gold bars from the U.S. government. FBI agents seized 303 gold bars from Rush's home in Ashburn, Virginia. Rush claimed the gold was for 'work-related expenses' and was arrested for theft of public money. Additionally, agents discovered $2 million in cash and 35 luxury watches. Rush, who worked for the CIA for 17 years, is accused of forging his educational and military credentials. He had a professional relationship with Steve Feinberg, the Deputy Defense Secretary and a billionaire Trump supporter. Feinberg, who founded Cerberus Capital Management, was chairman of Trump's Intelligence Advisory Board during his first term. Rush is currently in custody, with a court hearing scheduled next week. The investigation may lead to more serious charges.
