White House: Kundra takes leave

A senior White House official tells NBC News that the president's choice to be the nation's chief information officer, Vivek Kundra, has taken a leave from his position until further details become known of the FBI's investigation into Kundra's Washington, D.C. IT offices.

While the FBI has said Kundra is not connected to their investigation of a contractor that was under Kundra's supervision, the appearance apparently is enough to force Kundra to take a leave from the White House.

:mad:
The FBI goes in and makes a public spectacle at his previous employer, why the public pressure from the intelligence branch?

It's an investigation of corruption by an employee of a DC government agency, which Kundra headed before joining the Obama administration. The FBI vetted Kundra and has said he is not a target. I guess this is about appearances, though.
