Foggo, a childhood friend, as the wider Cunningham investigation continues. Cunningham was sentenced to more than eight years in prison in March. A California newspaper, the North County Times, reported this week that a Defense Department investigator has complained that Cunningham, who is serving a more than eight-year sentence, is not fully cooperating in the investigation.

After bringing with him a boarding party of staff members who seemed to specialize in mishandling personnel matters, Goss promoted Kyle (Dusty) Foggo to be the CIA's executive director and top budget chief. Foggo is now at the center of a growing investigation into a federal bribery case that has already sent former California Congressman Randy (Duke) Cunningham to prison for more than eight years. A source close to the investigation tells TIME that the Justice Department is investigating reports that one of Cunningham...
