FBI Director Kash Patel shared details about sensitive documents found in burn bags at FBI headquarters, indicating that all such documents will be made public.
• Patel stated in an interview that all materials found in the burn bags would be disclosed through investigations, public trials, or to Congress.
• Before his role as FBI director, Patel was a congressional investigator for the House Intelligence Committee during the investigation of possible Russian connections with President Trump’s 2016 campaign, known as “Russia Gate. ”
• He mentioned that the burn bags contained files related to the investigation, including a declassified annex from former special counsel John Durham.
• This annex revealed that the FBI did not thoroughly assess information suggesting the Clinton campaign may have created a false narrative about Trump and Russia.
• Patel equated the use of burn bags with destroying classified documents and implied that certain government entities tried to hide crucial information.
• He emphasized that, following Trump’s election, there has been a concerted effort to uncover corruption within law enforcement.
• Patel assured that there would be accountability and transparency about the investigations into the FBI’s actions regarding Trump and other related matters.
