Former top CIA official indicted in corruption probe

Charges are latest in investigation that sent former Rep. Randy (Duke) Cunningham to prison.

The CIA's former No. 3 official and a defense contractor were charged Tuesday with fraud and other offenses in the corruption investigation that sent former Rep. Randy (Duke) Cunningham, R-Calif., to prison, the Associated Press reported.

The indictment named Kyle (Dusty) Foggo, executive director of the CIA until he resigned in May, and his close friend, San Diego defense contractor Brent Wilkes, both 52, according to two government officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because grand jury proceedings are secret.

In a separate indictment, Wilkes was charged with conspiring to bribe Cunningham in return for government contracts.

A man who was described as a co-conspirator in Cunningham's 2005 plea agreement, John T. Michael, was also charged.
