CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Channel 9 obtained newly unsealed FBI documents in the investigation into former CIA Director David Petraeus and his mistress, Dilworth resident Paula Broadwell.
The documents date back to three years ago when the FBI was investigating whether the general shared classified information with Broadwell, who was also his biographer.
Channel 9 reported back in 2012 when investigators took boxes out of Broadwell’s Dilworth home.
The documents show that in October 2012 Petraeus denied providing any classified documents to Broadwell or having any arrangement to provide her with classified information.
Broadwell made the same claim days later.
But after looking through email exchanges, FBI agents found several instances where they believe classified information was shared.
Documents show there was one case where he discusses multi-national security transition command files and said they're "c-l-a-s-s-d, but I guess I might share."
Agents believe "c-l-a-s-s-d" means classified.
Petreaus ultimately pleaded guilty to mishandling government documents and was fined $100,000.
Broadwell has never been charged in the case.
