Anybody know anything about Nick Shirley? [View all]

Found a little info from overseas press, nothing major, but I have a feeling there's a lot more to be found

"Shirley was born on April 4, 2002, making him 23-years-old. According to a Reuters report, Shirley used to be a high school student in Utah who used make prank videos.

.....

He then started making street interview videos and on-the- ground commentary and slowly transitioned to independent investigative journalist-style videos.

He, however, took a break from making videos when he spent two years serving as a full-time volunteer missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Santiago, Chile.

...

Shirley took part in an "Antifa Roundtable" meeting earlier this year with Trump and other government officials, including Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi.

I found the part about the mission to Chile interesting.

I know that the CIA has a history of recruiting people from LDS who did missions in such places.
