Last year, Mrs Kelley became a secondary participant in then-CIA director David Petraeus’ affair with his biographer Paula Broadwell after Mrs Kelley contacted the FBI about threatening emails she received from Broadwell. During an ensuing search of her email records, the FBI publicly announced that she had ‘inappropriate’ email conversations with General John Allen as well.
