FBI Searches House of Ex-CIA Deputy Foggo

Mark Mazzetti writes in The New York Times:

The home and office of Kyle Foggo, who stepped down on Monday as the Central Intelligence Agency's number three official, were searched today by law-enforcement officials as part of an ongoing investigation, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said.

Mr. Foggo had resigned after becoming entangled in a widening investigation that has already brought down former Representative Randy Cunningham, a k a Duke, of San Diego. Investigators say they are examining what could be a larger pattern of bribery and government corruption.

April Langwell, a spokeswoman for the F.B.I.'s San Diego office, said that Mr. Foggo has been under investigation by the Internal Revenue Service, the Defense Criminal Investigative Service and the C.I.A.'s Inspector General as well as the F.B.I.

She said that Mr. Foggo's home in Virginia and office at C.I.A. headquarters were searched under the terms of a sealed search warrant.
