The Petraeus avalanche picks up an FBI agent, a general and a twin sister

Can we make this story even stranger? To borrow a slogan from our recently re-elected President: Yes, we can. It turns out that Jill Kelley has a twin sister named Natalie Khawam, who has been denied custody of her 4-year-old son because of “serious reservations about her honesty and mental stability,” according to court records discovered by the New York Post. Longtime soap opera fans know the story is never really complete without a twin sister.

About two months ago, Petraeus, who was CIA director at the time, wrote a letter to DC Superior Court in support of Kelley’s sister. The Post describes the nasty tenor of the custody battle Petraeus chose to involve himself in:

Petraeus wrote his letter amid a bitter divorce and custody battle between Khawam and Grayson Wolfe, a partner in a DC-based private venture firm.

A judge in November 2011 gave Wolfe sole custody of the couple’s son after finding that Khawam, a lawyer, repeatedly lied under oath and filed bogus domestic-violence and child-abuse claims against her husband after their one-year marriage began crumbling in 2009.

That judge also found that Khawam routinely defied court orders to let the child see his dad and sent harassing e-mails to Wolfe’s friends and business partners that “excoriated Mr. Wolfe for being a horrible father and husband.”

The judge blasted Khawam for giving false evidence, and noted that a court-ordered shrink had found her domestic-violence allegations to be “part of an ever-expanding set of sensational accusations . . . that are so numerous, so extraordinary and [so] distorted that they defy any common-sense view of reality.”

The judge also noted that she “is a psychologically unstable person.”
