The defendant here, who was recruited by an undercover FBI agent, was sentenced to 8 years in prison today.
Newly unsealed court records reveal what seems to be a case of entrapment.
A North Carolina man named Alexander White was spouting online for years about ISIS.
Then, an undercover FBI agent posing as an ISIS recruiter reached out to him to fulfill his desires. The agent had an FBI informant pose as an ISIS spokesperson for a 27-minute video interview.
White was arrested as he attempted to leave the country on Dec. 4.
