The Justice Department hasn't made a final decision about whether to prosecute retired Army Gen. David Petraeus for allegedly providing government secrets to his former mistress while he was director of the CIA, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said.
"I don't want to comment on what is an ongoing matter," Holder said during an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press." "The determination has yet to be made. And we will just see how things play out before any final decision is made."
Petraeus, 62, resigned from his Central Intelligence Agency post in November 2012, after his affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, became public. He has acknowledged the extramarital affair, which began about two months after he took over as CIA director in 2011 and ended four months before he resigned. He has denied providing Broadwell with classified information.
