TRENTON, N.J. — A blogger about to stand trial on charges he made death threats against judges apparently was paid by the FBI in its battle against domestic terrorism, according to a published report.
The Record of Bergen County reported Sunday that Hal Turner received thousands of dollars from the FBI to report on neo-Nazis and white-supremacist groups and was sent undercover to Brazil.
He claims the FBI coached him to make racist, anti-Semitic and other threatening statements on his radio show.
He goes on trial Tuesday in New York, accused of making death threats against three Chicago-based federal judges after saying in Internet postings in June that they “deserve to be killed” because they didn’t overturn handgun bans.
