The FBI in Houston, where Bush lives, was similarly tight-lipped.

"We do not confirm or deny the existence of any investigation," Houston FBI spokeswoman Shauna Dunlap said.

Freddy Ford, a spokesman for former President George W. Bush, who has a home in Dallas, also said Friday he "won't be commenting."

The FBI in Dallas referred calls to the Secret Service, which did not immediately return a message left Friday morning.

The word "Guccifer" is plastered across the photos published on the Smoking Gun website in translucent, neon blue print. The website quotes "Guccifer" as describing himself as a veteran hacker who has long been in the government's sights.
