The FBI has just released their entire file on Apple co-founder Steve Jobs (first reported by Gawker), revealing that Jobs was considered for a “sensitive position” in the White House in 1991 under former president George Bush, as well as revealing the results of a investigation involving a bomb threat targeted at Jobs.
Curiously, the files also include mentions of Steve Jobs’ “reality distortion field,” which is especially interesting to see mentioned in an FBI file.
Several individuals questioned Mr. Jobs’ honesty stating that Mr. Jobs will twist the truth and distort reality in order to achieve his goals. They also commented that, in the past, Mr. Jobs was not supportive of [redacted] (the mother of his child born out of wedlock) and their daughter; however, recently has become supportive.
The files also mention Steve Jobs’ history of drug use (Jobs famously experimented with LSD). The report features an extremely thorough background check, in which federal officers interviewed Apple employees, as well as Jobs’ friends and family.
One of the very most interesting parts of the report, however, is that Steve Jobs received top security clearance with the U.S. government, which was granted in 1988 and terminated in 1990, although no details are offered as to why he was granted the clearance (or why it was later repealed).
