Hidden Room Uncovered by FBI Chief Patel
1. Discovery
FBI Director Kash Patel revealed that documents tied to the Russia probe were found in a hidden bureau room, stored in “burn bags.”
They reportedly include the classified annex to John Durham’s final report,
which said the FBI’s inquiry into Trump–Russia ties was “seriously flawed.”
2. How They Surfaced
A source said the records were likely kept “by mistake” and surfaced only during a routine review.
They will be sent to Senator Chuck Grassley.
3. Reactions
Former President Trump said he wants “everything to be shown,” calling the original probe a “scam.”
Patel, long critical of the FBI, has promised a “wave of transparency.”
4. Political Context
The discovery fuels efforts by Trump allies to support claims of a politically motivated “witch hunt.”
Meanwhile, Tulsi Gabbard claimed intelligence once suggested Russia preferred a Hillary Clinton win.
