Overview

• FBI Director Kash Patel located multiple secret burn bags filled with thousands of classified documents in a hidden room at FBI headquarters.
• Among the materials is the classified annex to Special Counsel John Durham’s final report on the Trump-Russia probe.
• Patel has enlisted CIA Director John Ratcliffe, DNI Tulsi Gabbard, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Acting NSA Director William Hartman in the declassification process.
• The newly uncovered files have been handed over to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley’s team for review and potential public release.
• The discovery and transfer of these documents heighten partisan disputes over the origins and transparency of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
