On Friday, federal agents raided the home and office of Dusty Foggo, who up until last week was the third highest-ranking official at the CIA. The raids came a week after CIA Director Porter Goss unexpectedly resigned. It was Goss who promoted Foggo to become the CIA’s executive director two years ago. Foggo is suspected of being part of a congressional bribery scandal that also involved jailed Republican Congressman Duke Cunningham and the defense contractor Brent Wilkes. Foggo and Wilkes have been close friends for decades. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Wilkes received many secret “black budget” contracts from the CIA that are hidden from public scrutiny. Wilkes has also been accused of providing prostitutes at the Watergate and Westin hotels in Washington to lawmakers in an effort to win contracts.
