An eight-page FBI affidavit filed in the Eastern District of Virginia outlines the allegations. Rush remained in custody on Friday after the judge moved the hearing to next week.
The affidavit states the items were removed from a government office. The gold bars are valued at more than $40 million. Rush is scheduled to appear in court the following week on the charges.
