FBI retracts important documents from Paula Broadwell’s computer

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) retracted classified documents from Paula Broadwell’s personal computer and prosecutors are reportedly trying to determine whether or not to charge David Petraeus’ former mistress with a crime.
Broadwell, 40, told investigators that she took hold of secret military documents from a government building. The FBI, therefore, raided her North Carolina home on Monday from where they carried out her computers and boxes of documents. However, Broadwell has denied that she came across the classified material during the course of her relationship with Petraeus, who resigned last Friday after 14 months as head of the Central Investigation Agency (CIA). Citing ‘poor judgment’, Petraeus admitted to the affair while he served as head of US troops in Afghanistan.
Although, an extramarital relationship is considered a breach of top secret security requirements, President Obama maintains that he has seen no evidence that the affair has harmed national security.
Although Broadwell, an Army counterintelligence reservist and Petraeus’s biographer, had a high level security clearance, but the documents found in her possession mark a renewed focus by investigators on how she obtained the materials and whether or not national security has been compromised. Senior FBI officials are expected to brief the House and Senate Intelligence Committees this week on the Petraeus investigation. Agents will also determine whether charges against Broadwell are warranted. She may face disciplinary action or no punishment at all.
