弗吉尼亚州一名前中情局官员被控从该机构盗取价值数千万美元的金条和外币，其于周五被下令在庭审前继续羁押。
该男子名为戴维·拉什，被控一项盗窃公款罪。其律师周五辩称，所有金条均有账目记录，当前指控与他们所称的“考勤卡欺诈”相关。
联邦调查局指控拉什通过多次在申请表上谎报兵役经历和教育背景，虚假声称自己是海军飞行员并拥有高等学位，从而成为拥有绝密安全许可的高级行政政府雇员。
外界仍有疑问：这个自称是全球顶尖间谍机构之一的组织，为何未能追踪这笔资金，也未发现拉什在该机构审查的四份不同申请表上的多处涉嫌虚假陈述。
据一位知情人士透露，已有数名中情局基层雇员被停职，另有多名高级官员因处理拉什的资金申请时失职，或未能察觉其工作相关申请可能存在问题的早期内部预警信号而被调岗。
CNN已联系中情局征求置评。

四位知情人士告诉CNN，中情局局长约翰·拉特克利夫与代理司法部长托德·布兰奇、联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔已就此案向国会山高层议员和总统唐纳德·特朗普进行了简报。
根据此案提交的联邦调查局宣誓书，拉什于2025年11月至2026年3月期间，多次申请领取价值数千万美元的金条以及大量外币。
调查人员尚未说明拉什在申请中提议如何使用这些资金，也未说明资金获得批准的原因。
中情局在将此事移交联邦调查局之前曾进行过审查，但未能找到交付给拉什的金条或其提供的大量外币。
根据宣誓书，联邦调查局随后对拉什的住所执行搜查令，查获了价值超过4000万美元的金条、200万美元美国现金以及35块豪华手表。
据称，2006年至2009年间，拉什在三份加入中情局的单独申请表上谎报教育背景，虚假声称自己获得了学士和硕士学位。
根据联邦调查局的宣誓书，在以虚假借口被聘用七年后，拉什在申请成为中情局高级行政人员时再次撒谎。
宣誓书显示，在2018年的申请中，拉什虚假声称自己曾是海军飞行员、在空军理工学院拥有终身教职，并“担任过拥有145名员工、18架飞机的陆军/海军联合武器测试组织的现任测试主管”。
联邦调查局称，拉什于1997年应征加入海军，担任信息系统技术员，并于2004年加入预备役。宣誓书显示，他从未担任过飞行员。
在中情局任职期间，拉什虚假申报了744小时的军事休假，并在2015年光荣退伍后获得了7.7万美元的补偿金。
他面临的单项指控似乎与其退伍后领取的军事休假补助金有关，但随着调查人员继续追查拉什持有金条和失踪外币的情况，可能会追加 additional 指控。

Ex-CIA employee accused of stealing from agency is ordered to remain in jail ahead of trial

A former CIA officer in Virginia who is accused of taking tens of millions of dollars in gold bars and foreign currency from the agency was ordered Friday to remain in jail until his trial.
The man, David Rush, has been charged with one count of theft of public money. His lawyers argued Friday that the gold bars were all accounted for and the current charges are related to what they equated to time-card fraud.
The FBI alleges Rush became a senior executive government employee with top-secret clearance by lying repeatedly on applications about his military service and education and falsely saying he was a Navy pilot and had advanced degrees.
Questions remain as to how an agency that claims to be one of the top spy apparatuses in the world failed to account for the money or catch Rush’s many allegedly false claims on four different applications reviewed by the agency.
Several lower level CIA employees have been placed on leave and other more senior officers were reassigned over how they managed Rush’s requests for money or failing to catch initial internal flags that his requests may not have been a legitimate part of his work, according to a source familiar with the matter.
CNN has reached out to CIA for comment.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe, alongside acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel, have briefed top lawmakers on Capitol Hill and President Donald Trump on the case, four sources familiar with the meetings told CNN.
According to the FBI affidavit filed in the case, Rush began making requests for tens of millions of dollars’ worth of gold bars as well as a significant amount of foreign currency between November, 2025 and March, 2026.
Investigators have not said what Rush proposed to do with the funds in his requests or why the funds were approved.
The CIA, which reviewed the matter before referring it to the FBI, could not find the gold given to Rush or a large amount of the foreign currency they provided.
According to the affidavit, the FBI then executed a search warrant on Rush’s home and found over $40 million in gold bars as well as $2 million in US cash and 35 luxury watches.
From 2006 to 2009, Rush allegedly lied on three separate applications to join the CIA about his education background — falsely claiming he obtained a bachelor’s and master’s degree.
Seven years after he was hired on false pretenses, Rush again lied, according to the FBI’s affidavit, when applying to become a senior executive at the CIA.
In the 2018 application, Rush falsely claimed he had been a Navy pilot, had tenure at the Air Force Institute of Technology and served “as the current Director of Test for a 145-person, 18-aircraft joint Army/Navy weapons test organization,” according to the affidavit.
The FBI says Rush enlisted in the Navy in 1997, serving as an information systems technician, and joined the reserves in 2004. He was never a pilot, the affidavit says.
While being employed in the CIA, Rush falsely claimed 744 hours of military leave and received $77,000 in compensation after he was honorably discharged in 2015.
The single charge he faces appears to hinge on the military leave payments he received after being discharged, though additional charges could be added as investigators continue to probe Rush’s retention of the gold bars and the missing foreign currency.
