Vivek Kundra, Barack Obama's pick to be the federal government's chief information officer, was not the target when his DC office was raided this morning by the FBI.
Yusuf Acar and Sushil Bansal have been arrested.
Why?
That's the question.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The FBI raided the former office of Obama administration official Vivek Kundra and arrested two people in a corruption probe on Thursday, but Kundra is not a target of the investigation, a spokeswoman for Washington's mayor said.
The FBI searched the offices of the District of Columbia's chief technology officer, a post formerly held by Kundra, as it investigates employee corruption there, spokeswoman Mafara Hobson said.
President Barack Obama named Kundra, 34, to be the federal government's chief information officer last week, responsible for overseeing the government's computer systems.
...Yusuf Acar, who works in the District's technology office, and another man, Sushil Bansal, were arrested, FBI spokeswoman Lindsay Godwin said.
Godwin declined to say whether the two were arrested on bribery charges, as reported by The Washington Post. The charges remain under seal, Godwin said.
Acar describes himself as the agency's chief security officer in a video posted on its website.
Bansal is a former District of Columbia government employee who heads Advanced Integrated Technologies Corp., a technology firm that has won contracts from the District's technology office.
Kundra isn't the target, but what went on in the office under his watch?
Not enough information is available at this time to comment on whether the arrests of Acar and Bansal reflect in any way on Kundra.
So much corruption.
