The CIA confirmed to the Wall Street Journal what we knew already from multiple eyewitness accounts: Kyle “Dusty” Foggo, the CIA’s #3 official, attended Wilkes’ poker parties at hotel suites around Washington, D.C. where prostitutes allegedly entertained.

But that’s it, the agency says. He never saw any hookers — at least not while they were playing cards.

“If he attended occasional card games with friends over the years, Mr. Foggo insists they were that and nothing more,” CIA spokeswoman Jennifer Millerwise-Dyck told the WSJ:

She said Mr. Foggo says he never witnessed any prostitutes at the games and that any allegation to the contrary would be “false, outrageous and irresponsible.”

Good to have that on the record. Foggo’s an interesting character — with ties to Wilkes that go back more than 30 years, and have stretched as far as Central America and the Middle East. More on the two later.
