FBI Interviews Petraeus Over Leak of Classified Info To Paula Broadwell

David Petraeus was the subject of an FBI interview Friday, as part of their probe into the leak of classified documents to his former lover and biographer, Paula Broadwell.

According to the USA Today exclusive, two government officials have confirmed that the FBI interviewed Petraeus, the former head of the Central Intelligence Agency, at his home in Arlington, Virginia. The interview was just one part of an FBI investigation, which has apparently been a long process, as the anonymous source told the USA Today. The investigation is into whether Paula Broadwell had received classified documents or information, and whether those documents may have been kept in an unauthorized location.

When the affair became public last November, Petaeus had told investigators that he had not shared classified documents with Broadwell and the CIA ran an internal evaluation into the matter as well. The FBI and CIA would not comment on whether Petraeus was interviewed Friday, other than for the bureau to confirm that FBI agents were in northern Virginia on Friday. The CIA stated that it is fully cooperating with the FBI.

The Petraeus sex scandal rocked Washington, D. C. late last year and ended with the former four-star general resigning from his post at the top of the CIA. Broadwell was an Army reservist who had an affair with David Petraeus after years of following him as his biographer. In a twisted series of events, Florida socialite Jill Kelley contacted Frederick Humphries II, a local FBI agent she knew, complaining of being cyberstalked.

That investigation found that Broadwell was behind the harassing emails and eventually unraveled the sexually charged, unencrypted email communications between Petraeus and Broadwell. Shortly after the election in November, David Petraeus resigned as director of the CIA and acknowledged the affair with Broadwell, whose biography "All In: The Education fo General David Petraeus," had just been published earlier that year.
