By most accounts, David Petraeus is on the rise after losing his job in the wake of an extramarital affair that forced him to resign as director of the CIA.
But Bloomberg reports that Petraeus, who has secured a job at the private equity firm KKR, is still under investigation by the FBI.
Citing current and former U.S. intelligence officials, Bloomberg wrote that the FBI is still trying to determine whether Petraeus violated the law by providing classified documents to Paula Broadwell, his biographer and former lover.
Authorities said Broadwell received intelligence information that was only available to a handful of senior officials.
“It was inappropriately shared and it should never have been shared,” one former senior intelligence official said.
Despite the investigation, President Obama has defended Petraeus, saying he never endangered national security.
