THE CIA SEX SCANDAL IS ALSO -- FRONT AND CENTER AGAIN THIS MORNING.

THERE ARE NEW DETAILS COMING OUT ABOUT THE VETERAN FBI AGENT --- WHO LAUNCHED THE INVESTIGATION THAT LED TO PETREAUS RESIGNING.

PETRAEUS LATEST-PKG

SCRIPT:

It was last May when Tampa socialite Jill Kelley began to get a series of

e-mails that made her think someone was stalking her and her friend CIA

director David Petraeus.

So Kelley went to an FBI agent she knew personally, 47-year old Fred

Humphries whose lawyer now tells ABC News he was the agent who helped launch

the investigation and then later went to Congress when he thought there

was a cover-up.

Brad Garrett: If we hadn't had an individual that apparently

believed in right and wrong with no grey, we may never have gotten to where

we are in the case today.

The FBI did not tell the White House about Petraeus' affair with his

biographer Paula Broadwell until the day after the election, even though

agents knew about it about a month earlier.

FBI director Robert Mueller went to Capitol Hill Wednesday to defend the

bureau's handling of the case, around the same time the President was saying

he has full confidence in the FBI but is waiting for a full explanation.

President Obama: I am withholding judgment.

But even as FBI agents continue to investigate the classified documents

found in the computer of Petraeus' mistress, the President said he knew of

no security lapse.

President Obama: I have no evidence at this point, from what I've seen.

But the Department of Defense has now revoked the security clearance that

was once had by Paula Broadwell.

And at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, officials have revoked the special

access clearance once given Jill Kelly.

As for the agent, Fred Humphries, his home outside Tampa was dark last night

, other than this car racing out of the driveway shortly after ABC News

arrived.

FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

"Mainly dry and staying warm"

After several days with temperatures in the 80s, it looks we'll tack on a couple of more before some changes in our weather pattern take place over the weekend.

Temperatures have cooled into the lower to middle 60s this morning, so a few patchy areas of fog are possible around sunrise mainly east of the I75 corridor and north of the Caloosahatchee. A weak cool front continues to weaken and wash out across the central part of the state and with a slight push of some dry air, this should stabilize our atmosphere through the afternoon and keep our rain prospects less than 20%. This will lead to mostly to partly sunny skies and daytime highs climbing into the lower to middle 80s.

Tonight, skies will go mostly clear with lows settling into the lower to middle 60s by early morning with light winds.

We will round out the work week with near normal temperatures in the lower half of the 80s. You will also notice an increase in the clouds during the afternoon on Friday ahead of another system that will push a cold front through our part of the state on Saturday. Right now, it doesn't look like this front will have much moisture to work with so rain chances will be capped at 20-30% late Friday and into Saturday morning with a few widely scattered showers.

FORECAST-WX WALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

"Mainly dry and staying warm"

After several days with temperatures in the 80s, it looks we'll tack on a couple of more before some changes in our weather pattern take place over the weekend.

Temperatures have cooled into the lower to middle 60s this morning, so a few patchy areas of fog are possible around sunrise mainly east of the I75 corridor and north of the Caloosahatchee. A weak cool front continues to weaken and wash out across the central part of the state and with a slight push of some dry air, this should stabilize our atmosphere through the afternoon and keep our rain prospects less than 20%. This will lead to mostly to partly sunny skies and daytime highs climbing into the lower to middle 80s.

Tonight, skies will go mostly clear with lows settling into the lower to middle 60s by early morning with light winds.

We will round out the work week with near normal temperatures in the lower half of the 80s. You will also notice an increase in the clouds during the afternoon on Friday ahead of another system that will push a cold front through our part of the state on Saturday. Right now, it doesn't look like this front will have much moisture to work with so rain chances will be capped at 20-30% late Friday and into Saturday morning with a few widely scattered showers.

CHEER DANGERS-2 SHOT

SOT DR. JEFF MJAANES, MD / PEDIATRICIAN, SPORTS MEDICINE, RUSH UNIVERSITY

catastrophic head and neck injury. / I would say I at least have 1 or 2

cheerleaders a day with different injuries."

VIDEOS HIGHLIGHTING THE INJURIES ARE ALL OVER YOUTUBE.

CHEERLEADERS CRASH LANDING AFTER STUNTS GONE WRONG, SLIPPING FROM PYRAMIDS

KASEY AND KORI BRONSTEIN AREN'T JUST SISTERS, THEY SHARE A LOVE OF

COMPETITIVE CHEERLEADING AND KNOW THE AGONY OF ONE FALSE MOVE ALL TOO WELL.

SOT KASEY BRONSTEIN / CHEERLEADER: "I tore my patella tendon on my right leg

."

SOT KORI BRONSTEIN / CHEERLEADER: "I tore my ACL and then I tore my patella

tendon one time before that."

MORE THAN 37,000 CHEERLEADERS WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM LAST YEAR, THAT'S

FOUR TIMES MORE THAN IN 1980. THE CATASTROPHIC INJURIES FROM ALL THAT

TUMBLING AND FLIPPING RANK SECOND ONLY TO FOOTBALL.

THAT'S WHY THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS IS PUSHING TO REDUCE THE RISK

ON THESE DAREDEVIL STUNTS.

SOT DR. JEFF MJAANES, MD / PEDIATRICIAN, SPORTS MEDICINE, RUSH UNIVERSITY

MEDICAL CENTER: "We recommend that the stunts be no more than two people

high. / We would like the training surfaces to be soft so they can absorb

shock."

BUT FOR JAMIE WOODE, THERE WAS NO SOFT LANDING. AND NO LOSING HER TEAM
