A former CIA official has reached a tentative plea agreement after being charged with theft for inflating his salary. Court records show David J. Rush was found with $40 million in U.S. gold bars at his home. A federal judge extended the indictment deadline to Oct. 8 to allow time to finalize the plea deal and avoid a public trial. Rush was charged in May for fraudulently claiming military leave and inflating his salary with false degrees. Investigators seized about 300 gold bars, plus $2 million in cash and luxury watches from his home. His attorney says the federal charge isn't related to the gold bars.
