Kelley is a "dedicated mother, a dedicated wife," her brother added.

After that initial interview with the affiliate, Khawam refused to talk further and referred all media inquiries to Judy Smith, Washington's top scandal spinner who is said to have inspired the new television drama "Scandal."

Jill Kelley has retained Smith and top Washington lawyer Abbe Lowell, famous for representing clients such as disgraced former Sen. John Edwards and ex-lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Regardless of who is talking, the scandal involving Kelley is growing by the hour.

The Pentagon said Tuesday that the investigation surrounding Petraeus and Broadwell has expanded to include Allen. Allen replaced Petraeus after he left that post to lead the CIA.

According to U.S. officials, the FBI has looked at between 20,000 and 30,000 pages of documents --- most of them e-mails --- and have found "potentially inappropriate" correspondence between Kelley and Allen.

Some of the e-mails between Allen and Kelley might be described as "flirtatious," according to a defense official who was cleared to speak to the media.

However, the official told CNN that flirtatious could mean anything from "Hey, you look good in that dress the other night" to something more serious.

"There was no security information exchanged. There was nothing hateful in the messages," the official said. "It was not threatening."
