Kyle "Dusty" Foggo formerly headed the CIA's day-to-day operations.
Family photographs, bank account information, computer hard drives, as well as Cuban cigars were among items seized by federal agents who raided the home of former CIA executive director Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, Foggo's attorney William Hundley said Wednesday.
Foggo's house in Virginia was raided last Friday as part of investigations by the FBI, CIA, and other law enforcement agencies into his relationship with defense contractor and longtime friend Brent Wilkes, who is in turn linked to the bribery case of former Congressman Randy "Duke"
Cunningham.
Cunningham pleaded guilty in November to accepting $2.4 million in bribes. Foggo denies any wrongdoing.
"When they served the papers they indicated what they were looking for," Hundley told CNN. "They indicated they were looking for Cuban cigars, so they scored."
Hundley described the other items the FBI stated its interest in as, "all stuff that in (the government's) view would link him with Brent -- a lot of family photos ... none of which we ever denied."
Foggo had come under scrutiny by the CIA before the current Inspector General's investigation into whether there was any impropriety in a contract Foggo awarded to Wilkes. Hundley confirmed reports that while posted to Europe, the CIA investigated whether Foggo's relationships with various women presented any security or counter intelligence risk. Hundley said his client underwent polygraph tests, and that the CIA determined there was no threat.
Foggo's attorney further revealed that the investigation was revisited by the CIA when Foggo was a candidate for Executive Director -- the third ranking executive at the agency -- and that again, "they decided there was nothing there."
The CIA declined to comment.
