Washington: FBI is investigating Paula Broadwell, the biographer for resigning CIA Director David Petraeus, for improperly trying to access Petraeus’ email and possibly gaining access to classified information, law enforcement officials said.
But security officials said Petraeus is not being probed.
Broadwell is the author of Petraeus’ biography, “All In”. She had extensive access to the CIA chief in Afghanistan and has given numerous television interviews speaking about him.
Petraeus resigned on Friday, citing an extramarital affair.
The law enforcement officials said they do not believe the FBI investigation will result in any criminal charges.
The CIA declined all comment on the case.
A biography on Broadwell’s website, which went offline Friday evening, said she is married to a radiologist and has two children, NBC News reported.
The family lives in Charlotte, N.C. The biography said she is a West Point graduate and a research associate at Harvard University’s Center for Public Leadership and a doctoral candidate in the Department of War Studies at King’s College London.
