David J. Rush

A CIA officer arrested with gold bars and cash in his home has admitted to stealing from the government and exposing a top-secret source.

Now, that officer, David Rush, who is no longer with the CIA, pleaded guilty during a hearing in federal court in Virginia on Tuesday to a count of wire fraud.

He faces up to twenty years in prison and a fine of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, or twice the gross gain of his crime.

So according to court documents, Rush also said he made up a highly classified program to justify spending tens of millions on luxury real estate, including nearly forty-nine million dollars on homes in Palm Beach and luxury vehicles, including a BMW that cost about a hundred and seventy-two thousand dollars.
