CIA agent caught hoarding $40M in gold bars for ‘work-related expenses’ could land plea deal

David Rush, a former CIA official, is currently in negotiations for a plea agreement in principle with the Justice Department. This follows the discovery of $40 million in gold bars that Rush had allegedly hoarded, claiming the assets were intended for work-related expenses. While significant progress toward a deal has been reported, recent court filings have not yet specified the exact charges to which Rush may plead. The legal proceedings regarding the gold bars are ongoing.
