Another source close to Thiel told Insider that while they could not confirm that Thiel was a CHS, Thiel did speak to Buma occasionally.
"[They] will be either an 'FBI source' or a 'former FBI source' and, in turn, his or her conduct or misconduct will reflect upon the FBI."
Drew Angerer/Getty ImagesAs a CHS, Thiel was assigned a code name and an internal serial number to track his reporting.
Thiel, Johnson said, was directed by the FBI not to report on his interactions with Donald Trump or other US political figures.
Johnson told Insider that he brokered an introduction between Thiel and the FBI special agent who would become his handler.
