The latest revelations of the 'affair' Petraeus involving a family friend

The affair between David Petraeus & his biographer Paula Broadwell, still leaves questions. The details of the scandal that caused ther esignation of now former CIA director have raised doubts even among congressional leaders, who have complained this Sunday against the delay of the FBI to inform them about the case. Democratic and Republican leaders went to the U.S. television programs for answers to why the FBI took until the middle of last week to inform them of the investigation. Lawmakers want to know when the FBI discovered the illicit relationship between Petraeus and Broadwell, when Petraeus warned of the investigation, if there was a risk to national security and, above all, why Congress remained dark. It is in television where recent data have revealed that they have known about the 'affair'. ABC has said that Petraeus and Broadwell began their relationship in August 2011, after the former soldier left his post as chief of NATO forces in Afghanistan to head the CIA, replacing Leon Panetta. The relationship was made public a few days ago, but was known in advance within the FBI. It all started when this organization began investigating a complaint of "harassment" from Broadwell to a second woman in Florida. The sister has revealed the identity of the second woman, which so far remained anonymous. As he told a person close to the family Petraeus in the same chain, this isJill Kelley, a family friend for several years . According to this version, Kelley went to the FBI after receiving several e-mails from the mail threatening tone of David Petraeus. The investigation uncovered Petraeus's relationship with his biographer. "My family and I have been friends of General Petraeus and his family for more than five years. We respect your privacy and want the same for us and our three children , "said Kelly in a statement obtained by ABC.

'Human Drama'

As a biographer, Broadwell had an unusual access to Petraeus during the year they spent together in Afghanistan. Some people close to the general "had suspected that feelings of Broadwell toward him had crossed the professional line," said ABC, to ensure that, apparently, was Petraeus who ended the relationship. Those people, continued the chain considered Broadwell "caused embarrassment and showed too mellow "when talking about Petraeus . However, researchers found no information that compromised secret data or criminal activity, according to sources close to the investigation, who claimed that all he found was a "human drama". Petraeus's resignation came before he had testified before the intelligence committees of both houses of Congress on the attack on the U.S. consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi, which killed the ambassador Chris Stevens and three other public servants. It will be the acting director of the CIA, Mike Morell, who go to these hearings on Thursday.
