Yes, Hal Turner said he was working for the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force and the FBI confirmed it.

FBI supervisor testifies shock jock Hal Turner wasn't considered a threat

BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Shock jock Hal Turner of North Bergen regularly spewed violent and racist rhetoric on the radio but was not considered a threat, a high-ranking FBI supervisor testified Friday.

“The answer is no,” said the FBI’s Amy Pickett when asked if Turner was viewed by the bureau as a potential threat to commit a crime when he was recruited as an informant.

Pickett, now a deputy in the FBI’s New York City field office, was the supervisor in the bureau’s Newark-based Joint Terrorism Task Force who approved Turner to be a secret informant. She was called to testify by Turner’s defense lawyers in his trial here on a single charge of threatening three federal judges.
