Mike Rogers’s Wife Raked in Lucrative Government Security Contracts While Rogers Served as Intel Chair
The Nation reported in 2004 that Spicer had been caught “violating a UN Arms embargo in Sierra Leone and unwittingly triggering a coup in Papua New Guinea,” prompting its military to arrest Spicer. They found $400,000 in cash on him. It was a surprise to many in Iraq and D.C. that Spicer’s new firm, Aegis Defence Services, landed a major $293 million Pentagon contract in 2004 to protect U.S. diplomats in Iraq. Five Democratic U.S. senators, led by Ted Kennedy, appealed to Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld to reconsider the award based on Spicer’s scandals, but were rebuffed. By 2007, with Kristi Rogers in place at Aegis U.S., the largest single contract—for $475 million dollars—was awarded to Aegis by the Defense Department; it included supporting the Army Corps of Engineers in reconstruction operations in Iraq.
