David Rush, a longtime C.I.A. officer, appears to have first had contact with Stephen A. Feinberg during President Trump’s first term. Some officials said the two men were not close.

An international effort to free the trapped men brought attention to the country’s informal mines, where panning for gold can pay more than minimum wage.
