Kash Patel says all contents of FBI Trump-Russia burn bags will be made public

FBI Director Kash Patel says the contents of the burn bags containing Trump-Russia documents discovered at the FBI building will be made public one way or another. 

“You’re going to see everything we found in that room in one way or another, be it through investigation, public trial, or disclosure to the Congress,” Patel told The Epoch Times in an interview with reporter Jan Jekielek that will air Saturday.  

Earlier this month, Just the News reported that the FBI had launched an investigation after finding classified information tied to the now-discredited Trump-Russia collusion saga stashed in “burn bags” at the agency. 

The bureau said that the classified information was stashed away in a room at FBI Headquarters and was related to Crossfire Hurricane and also other FBI inquiries into President Donald Trump and his allies. Patel previously said that the FBI had found “several bags” containing evidence related to the Russiagate investigation. 

One electronic communication made public by the Justice Department in court filings related to the prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey earlier this month indicated the FBI began a preliminary investigation into the discovery this summer. 

The case against Comey has since been dismissed by a federal judge in Eastern Virginia after she ruled that interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan was improperly appointed by the Trump administration.
