The FBI kept a file on the late outspoken writer Christopher Hitchens, the website Historiographic Anarchy reports.
The website reported that the FBI released through the Freedom of Information Act, 19 pages on Hitchens, some which show he was the subject of an FBI Foreign Counterintelligence probe. He died in December at age 62 after a long fight with cancer.
The site reported that the first two pages involve a check requested by the Immigration and Naturalization in March 2005.
The next five pages reveal that he was the subject of a foreign counterintelligence probe and there is a discussion of his socialist-Trotskyist activities in Oxford and that he was traveling in the U.S. on a student scholarship.
Files also pertained to a Secret Service request for info in 1983 after Hitchens requested a White House press pass.
