Ex-CIA Officer Held Without Bail As Shocking Allegations Surface

Prosecutors accuse him of making false statements on military time sheets to improperly receive approximately $77,000 in military leave benefits

The complaint states that Rush had been discharged from the Navy more than a decade earlier.

Federal prosecutors suggested during the hearing that the investigation could eventually expand beyond the current charge

According to the FBI affidavit, Rush requested large quantities of gold bars and foreign currency between November 2025 and March 2026 for what he allegedly described as work-related expenses. Prosecutors said those requests resulted in roughly $40 million in gold being stored at his residence.
