A new report claims that Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel discovered a secret room with thousands of sensitive documents, including documents pertaining to the discredited probe into President Donald Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia in the 2016 election.
According to Fox News, sources told the outlet that the FBI director discovered thousands of sensitive documents in “burn bags” in a secret FBI room. The sources told Fox News that “burn bags” are used to destroy classified documents.
Fox News reported that sources claimed one of the documents discovered in the FBI burn bags was a classified annex to former Special Counsel John Durham’s report regarding the Trump-Russia probe.
The classified annex is currently going through the declassification process in coordination with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe, and acting National Security Agency Director William Hartman, according to Fox News. The outlet noted that the annex will later be provided to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley.
Anonymous sources told Fox News that the classified annex documents how the U.S. intelligence community received information from foreign sources suggesting that the FBI would aid in the spreading of the discredited Trump-Russia collusion allegations prior to the agency launching the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into Trump.
One source told Fox News, “Ultimately, the release of the classified annex will lend more credibility to the assertion that there was a coordinated plan inside the U.S. government to help the Clinton campaign stir up controversy connecting Trump to Russia.”
“Mere days after this intelligence was collected, the FBI launched Crossfire Hurricane,” the source added. “It’s really hard to see how Brennan, Clapper and Comey are going to be able to explain this away.”
In an interview with podcast host Joe Rogan last month, Patel announced that he had discovered a secret room at the FBI headquarters full of hidden documents and files.
“Just think about this,” Patel said at the time. “Me, as director of the FBI, the former ‘Russiagate guy,’ when I first got to the bureau, found a room that Comey and others hid from the world in the Hoover Building, full of documents and computer hard drives that no one had ever seen or heard of. Locked the key and hid access and just said, ‘No one’s ever gonna find this place.’”
