FBI Discovered Affair in Summer

Talk about a slow leak: apparently, high-level officials at the FBI and the Justice Department were notified late this past summer that the bureau’s agents had uncovered CIA Director David Petraeus’s extramarital affair. But the FBI did not notify anyone else until this past week because there was a lack of evidence that security had been breached. California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the chairwoman of the Intelligence Committee said she would “absolutely” demand an explanation. The case “could have had an effect on national security,” she told Fox News. “I think we should have been told.”
