The FBI alleges that former CIA official David Rush repeatedly lied about his credentials in applications for U.S. government jobs, according to Al Jazeera. An affidavit filed by an FBI agent in federal court states that, from November through March, Rush made several requests for funds, including foreign currency and tens of millions of dollars in gold bars. The question of whether such requests for gold bars are plausible in official CIA fund requests implies skepticism about their legitimacy, but no official confirmation or denial of standard procedures has been provided in the available facts.
