Obama's Pick for Information Officer Raided by FBI

FBI agents have raided the D.C. office of the man tapped to be President Obama's chief information officer, sources told FOX News.

The agents on Thursday morning raided the office of Vivek Kundra, who is also the outgoing D.C. chief technology officer. The investigation is related to allegations of corruption, one source said, but at this point is not targeting Kundra.

FBI spokeswoman Lindsay Gotwin would not describe the nature of the probe.

"It's an ongoing law enforcement investigation," she said.

In a March 5 White House press release, the administration said it chose Kundra to be the federal chief information officer because of his "depth of experience in the technology arena and a commitment to lowering the cost of government operations to this position."

The chief information officer is responsible for overseeing federal technology spending.

FOX News' Mike Levine contributed to this report.

It's getting to the point where I am tempted to put in an application for a cabinet post. OK I am not American, nor do I have any experience in politics or government but I have paid my taxes and they must be getting desperate to appoint someone soon.  :-)

Here's another story...

FBI agents have made two arrests after raiding the D.C. office of the man tapped to be President Obama's chief information officer, sources told FOX News.

The agents on Thursday morning raided the office of Vivek Kundra, who was leaving his post as the D.C. chief technology officer to join the administration. The investigation is related to allegations of corruption, one source said, but is not targeting Kundra.

FBI agents arrested a District of Columbia government worker, Yusuf Acar, as well as Sushil Bansal, who works for a company called Advanced Integrated Technologies Corp, sources said. Both are expected in court later Thursday.

Makes you wonder what exactly the Office of the President Elect was actually doing for all those weeks.
