White House officials said 34-year-old Kundra returned to job after it became clear that he was not "target of investigations," a media report said.
"Kundra has been informed that he is neither a subject nor a target of the investigation, and has been reinstated," Assistant White House Press Secretary Nick Shapiro was quoted as saying by the CNN.
Kundra was the Chief Technology Officer of Washington DC till early this month, when Obama picked him as his infotech czar. Two individuals, Yusuf Acar and Indian-American Sushil Bansal, were arrested by the FBI in connection with the corruption charges.
Meanwhile, a federal judge ordered continued imprisonment of Yusuf Acar, who was the acting chief security officer in D.C.'s technology office after Kundra.
Acar is accused of defrauding the city through a sophisticated bribery and fraud scheme.
Acar was arrested along with Sushil Bansal, president and CEO of the Advances Integrated Technologies Corp and a contractor. Bansal was later released but ordered not to conduct overseas financial transactions or leave the region.

Now that Holder has had a chance to cover everything up and call the FBI off everything will be ok. Now how can Kundra restore his credibility. Then again credibility is not a problem with Obama and company.
This barely constitutes news. I don't mean that to bash the reporters or writer of this article, but what happened? "defrauding the city through a sophisticated bribery and fraud scheme" What does that even mean - what did these people actually do, and what was Vivek Kundra under suspicion of in the first place? Or, how about - On what grounds did investigators decide to release Vivek? All this story comes down to is that the government made a bunch of decisions and the American people have no idea why. They give us names and declare guilt and innocence, but give us no facts about anything that occurred. I suppose we can just expect more and more of this in the future.
