Judge orders pretrial detention for ex-CIA official accused of stashing $40M in gold bars at home

A former senior CIA official, David J. Rush, was ordered to remain jailed until trial after being accused of stealing $40 million in gold bars and falsifying military and educational credentials. Prosecutors allege Rush fraudulently claimed military leave compensation and violated rules by storing government-owned gold at his home, while his defense claims the gold bars are unrelated to the charges.
