‘Upon examination of the contents, and unable to make a judgment about their accuracy, I delivered the information to the Director of the FBI.
‘That has been the extent of my contact with the FBI or any other government agency regarding this issue.’
‘The individual gave me the information. I looked at it. After receiving that information I took it to the FBI.
‘I did what any citizen should do. I received sensitive information and handed it to the FBI,’ he told
‘That’s why I gave it to the FBI. I don’t know if it is credible or not but the information I thought deserved to be delivered to the FBI, the appropriate agency of government.”
