They should stop supporting cops!
I'm afraid to ask but... how are they supporting cops?
And that means those chips are likely compromised and full of backdoors by now.
Very likely, although officially the guy isn't working on the boards at all but in building stuff like official cases and shit -- That's just the official story, and given their overall cageyness to speak of the controversy plus the fact that they can always rely on bootlickers to defend them -- Yeah. I wouldn't be trusting an RPi with anything sensitive at this point.
Are there any chips that can be these days?
Genuinely no clue.
As I understand it if you want to have full trust on something, you'll just have to channel your inner Richard Stallman and never use any tool you don't fully understand. That means that to ensure your chips don't have some insidious state surveillance backdoor you'd be mandated to not just have boards that have an open-source design... But to learn advanced electronic engineering so you could personally study those designs and ensure beyond doubt that they are secure.
That said maintaining a healthy distrust of any megacorp is a lot easier, if less guaranteed.
We need a public non-profit chip manufacturing company.
