One of the beautiful twins tied to the General Petraeus sex scandal has hired celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred, ABC News' Katie Hinman tweeted today. 
 
 The woman who reportedly hired Allred, Natalie Khawam, is the identical twin of Jill Kelley, the "other, other woman" in the Petraeus scandal. 
 
 Kelley is the one who complained to the FBI that she'd received harassing emails from Petraeus biographer Paula Broadwell. 
 
 Those emails uncovered the affair between Petraeus and Broadwell that brought down the general. 
 
 It's not clear why Khawam has hired Allred. But she has been skewered in the press, with revelations about an embarrassing custody fight with her husband surfacing last week.

 Paula Broadwell 
 
 Paula Broadwell, the biographer for disgraced CIA Director General Petraeus who's found herself smack-dab in the middle of a scandal dominating headlines for the past week, has hired Glover Park Group's managing directors, Dee Dee Myers and Joel Johnson, for communications counsel, the WPP crisis shop told Ad Age . 
 
 Ms. Broadwell tapped the D.C. crisis and government affairs agency after news of her extramarital affair with Gen. Petraeus was uncovered by Florida socialite Jill Kelley. Ms. Kelley sparked the investigation after having alerted the FBI to "threatening emails" that allegedly mentioned the CIA director and Afghanistan war commander Gen. John Allen. 
 
 It's the second time that someone in the midst of the Petraeus scandal has brought in heavy PR artillery. Ms. Kelley was quick to bring in crisis council of her own; within a day of the affair's details unraveling it became public that she enlisted the help of Judy Smith at Washington-based crisis firm Smith & Co. 
 
 WPP acquired Glover Park last November. The mid-sized, Washington-based firm is known for its work in public affairs, government affairs and crisis communications. According to the company, GPG's total assets as of Sept. 30, 2011 were approximately $75 million in the U.S. 
 
 Mr. Johnson founded The Harbour Group, a small D.C. public-affairs firm, in 2001, and joined Glover Park in 2005. In the past, he served as President Clinton's senior adviser for policy and communications. Ms. Myers also has close ties with the Clinton Administration, having served as White House Press Secretary during the president's first term. She was also an original consultant for NBC White House drama "The West Wing ," according to the firm's website. 
 
 The Senate Intelligence Committee and the CIA are now investigating the Petraeus matter. Among other things, they're looking into whether the information Ms. Broadwell obtained during her reporting for Gen. Petraeus' biography was classified. 
 
 The tone of coverage about Ms. Broadwell is already changing, with a number of news outlets of late reporting that she has expressed regret about the affair. It's not immediately clear whether Glover Park Group had anything to do with these reports, many of which point to anonymous sources. But such coverage takes the spotlight off the investigation into the affair's potential impact on national security and refocuses it on an individual trying to fix a personal mistake. 

 1 of 2. Paula Broadwell, the woman whose affair with CIA director David Petraeus led to his resignation, leaves her home in Charlotte, North Carolina, November 19, 2012. 
 
 CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (Reuters) - Paula Broadwell, the biographer whose affair with former CIA chief David Petraeus led to his resignation, has hired a high-profile Washington communications firm, Glover Park Group, to represent her, a source familiar with the arrangement said on Monday. 
 
 Glover Park's consultants include well-known names such as Dee Dee Myers, who served as White House press secretary during President Bill Clinton's first term. 
 
 WPP Plc, the world's largest advertising group, bought Glover Park last year. 
 
 Broadwell's hiring of Glover Park was reported by AdAge. The firm did not respond to requests for comment. 
 
 Anonymous emails that Broadwell sent to Jill Kelley, a Tampa, Florida socialite who knew Petraeus, prompted an FBI investigation that exposed Broadwell's affair with Petraeus, a retired U.S. Army general known for his success in the Iraq war. 
 
 Broadwell is under investigation for her handling of classified materials, although both she and Petraeus have separately told investigators they did not share security secrets. 
 
 FBI agents found a substantial amount of classified information on Broadwell's personal computer when they searched her home with her consent last week, according to law enforcement and national security officials. 
 
 Sources briefed on the investigation told Reuters the documents date from before August 2011, when Petraeus took up his post at the CIA and the two started their affair. None of the material comes from the CIA, the sources said. 
 
 As an Army reserve officer involved in military intelligence, Broadwell had a security clearance that allowed her to handle sensitive documents. However, she would still have to comply with strict rules that lay out how sensitive materials must be protected. 
 
 Broadwell's security clearance has now been suspended. She could have it revoked and face harsher penalties if it is found that she mishandled classified data. 
 
 Broadwell returned to her home in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday for the first time since the scandal erupted on November 9 with Petraeus's sudden resignation. Along with her husband and two children, she was greeted by close friends and neighbors. 
 
 "It's tough," said neighbor Sarah Curme. "Her primary focus is her husband and her kids. I think that's where they are now." 
 
 Glover Park is the latest high-profile adviser hired by a figure in the scandal. 
 
 Kelley is being represented by one of Washington's most prominent trial lawyers, Abbe Lowell, a family friend who has represented former U.S. Senator John Edwards and disgraced Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff. 
 
 Kelley also has enlisted Judy Smith, a well-known crisis PR manager who is the model for the ultra-effective fixer and spin doctor Olivia Pope in the ABC TV drama "Scandal." 
 
 Kelley's twin sister, Natalie Khawam, has retained celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred and the pair plan to hold a news conference in Washington on Tuesday to "explain Natalie's relationship with General Petraeus and his wife Holly." 
 
 Petraeus has hired Washington lawyer, Robert Barnett of Williams & Connolly LLP, to help him navigate the fallout from his career-ending affair with Broadwell. 
 
 Barnett is known for negotiating book deals for the political elite, from President Barack Obama to one-time vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
