Former CIA Agent Accused of Hiding Gold Bars Reaches Plea Agreement
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A former CIA officer, David J. Rush, has reached a preliminary plea agreement after being charged with public funds theft. Investigators discovered around 300 gold bars valued at over $40 million, nearly $2 million in cash, and luxury watches at his residence. Rush allegedly inflated his salary by fraudulently claiming 744 hours of military leave after being honorably discharged from the Navy in 2015 and falsely asserting he held degrees from Clemson University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. A federal judge has extended the deadline for formal charges to October 8 to allow both parties to finalize the agreement and avoid a public trial.
