Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was unfit for George H.W. Bush's council in 1991, according to an FBI investigation, highlighting his drug use and decision to not support his daughter.
"Several individuals questioned Mr. Jobs' honesty, stating that Mr. Jobs will twist the truth and distort reality in order to achieve his goals," the report said. The FBI redacted the names of people quoted in the report, but file further solidifies people's perception of Jobs.
Walter Isaacson, which raised a similar notion in his official biography of the Apple co-founder, said Jobs admitted to taking LSD, and said the profound experience that was one of the most important things in his life. Isaacson also detailed Jobs' relationship with his first child, born out-of-wedlock, and how the he eventually mended the relationship later in his life.
Others said Jobs's "reality-distortion field," his ability to "hypnotize" listeners and convince them of his views, meant he couldn't be trusted.
Bush never extended Jobs an offer, but detractors say Jobs was qualified for the post. FBI interviewers waited weeks before Jobs agreed to a one-hour interview, highlighting his apparent indifference to the position.
Jobs didn't end up on Bush's council, and instead lead Apple to its comeback, creating the iPod, iPhone and iPad.
