CIA officer charged in gold bars case working towards plea deal
Federal prosecutors and David Rush have a plea agreement in principle, and the filing could keep key details of the gold bars case out of public view.
- On Friday, former CIA officer David Rush and the Justice Department announced a "plea agreement in principle," jointly requesting a 21-day extension through October 8 to finalize paperwork.
- Federal agents arrested Rush in May after seizing more than 303 gold bars worth $40 million, about $2 million in currency, and 35 luxury watches from his residence.
- Rush faces one count of alleged theft of public funds, while attorneys Jessica Carmichael and Attorney Raizza are barred by protective order from disclosing sensitive case details.
- The FBI reviewed video showing Rush with Steve Feinberg, the Defense Department's no. 2 official, at a government-linked residence; the bureau confirmed Feinberg is not under investigation.
- Judge Leonie Brinkema previously set a Sept 17 deadline but faces the extension request, which could keep the case shrouded in mystery pending the plea agreement's finalization.
