A CIA official has been arrested after law enforcement authorities found hundreds of gold bars and millions of dollars in cash in his home, according to court documents.

David Rush, who is no longer with the CIA, was taken into custody after an investigation found that he had requested tens of millions of dollars in gold bars and foreign currency for work-related expenses.
