FBI Director Kash Patel revealed that he found piles of sensitive documents on the Trump-Russian probe buried in “burn bags” in a secret room hidden with the bureau’s headquarters.
Sources close to Patel said the FBI uses a “burn bag” system to destroy sensitive documents designated classified or higher. Multiple bags with thousands of documents were reportedly found in the secret room used by former FBI Director James Comey and his agents for the Crossfire Hurricane probe. Patel also reportedly found the “classified annex to former special counsel John Durham’s final report, which includes the underlying intelligence he reviewed.”
The declassified annex will be transmitted to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, who ultimately will release the document to the public.
