Far-right billionaire investor Peter Thiel was revealed as an FBI informant as recently as 2021, according to a new report<\/a> from Insider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insider reports:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

In order to be added to this database, multiple layers of approval are typically required, and only those able to provide “valuable information … on a recurring basis” are given CHS status. Once admitted to the CHS database, informants are then given a code name and a serial number to categorize reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The source added that Thiel’s status as an FBI informant is meant to be a way for the billionaire to distance himself from the MAGA movement, which has repeatedly assailed both the FBI and the US Department of Justice in response to investigations focused on former President Donald Trump. Johnson told Insider that he believes Thiel is primarily informing on foreign governments’ attempts to cement themselves within Silicon Valley. Johnson added that Thiel was explicitly told to not inform on former President Donald Trump or other US political figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Thiel, who was the first outside investor in Facebook, became influential within the Republican Party in 2016, when he pledged $1.25 million<\/a> to elect Trump and endorsed him at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Thiel then served on then-President-elect Trump’s transition team. And in the 2022 midterm elections, Thiel backed MAGA US Senate candidate and ‘Hillbilly Elegy’ author JD Vance with a $10 million super PAC donation<\/a>. Vance went on to attack the FBI, falsely accusing<\/a> agents of wiretapping his phone. Thiel also put $15 million toward a super PAC<\/a> backing Arizona Republican US Senate candidate Blake Masters, who went on to lose the general election to incumbent Senator Mark Kelly (D-Arizona).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
