What was said
"He's like, "Yeah, yeah, I worked on that contract." He's like, "But it wasn't really the National Security Agency. That was just the cover story for the CIA contract.""
Journalist Sharon Weinberger alleges a federal contract helped keep Steve Jobs’s NeXT afloat. She says a LinkedIn contact told her an apparent NSA purchase was a cover for a CIA deal, and a former senior CIA official later claimed the agency bought “tens of thousands” of NeXT workstations for “Program B”.
