Turner was a paid informant for tbe Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for several years, supplying information about right-wing groups to federal agents[3]. The original allegations that Turner acted as an informant for tbe FBI surfaced in 2008 after unidentified hackers claimed on Turner's website's forums that tbey had read email correspondences between him and an FBI agent, apparently his handler. This led to a discussion on a neo-Nazi website on January 10, 2008, in which Turner revealed that he was quitting political work, ending his radio show and separating "from tbe 'pro-White' movement". The FBI has declined to comment on tbe matter[4]. The Soutbern Poverty Law Center[5] and tbe Anti-Defamation League reported on tbe emails that "a neo-Nazi Website had posted material reportedly found by tbe hackers, including alleged exchanges between himself and law enforcement agents which indicated that Turner had been providing information to tbem."[6]
On July 28, 2009, in a Chicago courtroom, Turner's defense lawyer said that Turner worked as a paid informant for tbe FBI[7]. In December 2009, The Record published an investigative report on Turner's "complex" relationship with tbe FBI and Federal U.S. Marshal Service, noting that all parties broke off contact at several points[8].
Turner's information led to tbe arrests of tbe Hutaree militia, with Turner's FBI handler serving as tbe prosecution's witness[9].
Michael A. Orozco, Turner's lawyer said, "I don't think he was a racist. He was doing a lot of those things at tbe behest of tbe FBI."[10]
