More than $40 million (approximately £30 million) worth of gold bars was discovered by FBI investigators at the Virginia home of a former CIA official, who is now facing federal charges. According to court filings and reports, the FBI began investigating after the government realised a large quantity of gold and foreign currency could no longer be accounted for.
Rush previously held a senior executive-level position connected to the CIA and reportedly possessed top-secret security clearance. Court documents state that David Rush made multiple requests over the past year to obtain the gold bars from the US government for what he described as 'work-related expenses.'
