Kash Patel says all documents from 'burn bags' tied to Russia probe will be released publicly

WASHINGTON, DC: FBI Director Kash Patel is promising full transparency on the documents tied to Trump-Russia that were found in the FBI’s 'burn bags.'

“You’re going to see everything we found in that room in one way or another,” Patel told The Epoch Times in an interview with Jan Jekielek on Saturday, November 29. 

Patel didn’t hold back, signaling that the contents won’t stay under wraps, whether it’s through official probes, court proceedings, or Congressional scrutiny, the public is going to get the full picture.

Kash Patel vows transparency on classified 'burn bag' documents

Kash Patel said he can’t get into specifics because the case is still ongoing. He added that the FBI is working closely with Congress to release documents. These include materials tied to the DOJ’s investigation into Trump for alleged interference with the 2020 election.

The investigation even involved obtaining records from senators’ phones, as per Just The News.

He explained, “In general terms.. a burn bag is what you use to put classified documents into, generally, because that is literally how you destroy them.” He didn’t hold back on the bigger picture. “When the United States government and agency heads want things to disappear and want things to be buried and hidden, they know how to do it," he said.

"But what they didn’t count on was President Trump winning, him electing leadership across the United States government to say, ‘Go, find out how they corrupted and weaponized law enforcement,’ and that’s what we did that’s what we’re doing; that’s how we found it, and we’re going to continue to expose it," he added. 

FBI 'burn bags' reveal hidden Durham report on Trump-Russia probe 

Patel discovered “burn bags” containing thousands of documents from the bureau’s Trump-Russia probe during the 2016 campaign, according to The New York Post.

Among the findings is a previously unreleased 29-page appendix to the 2023 report by then-special counsel John Durham, which reviewed the original Trump-Russia investigation, known as “Crossfire Hurricane.” The appendix, first reported by Fox News Digital, contains detailed intelligence Durham examined but has never been made public.

Previously, it was shared that the appendix will be declassified and handed over to Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley for eventual public release. The review team for the papers includes FBI Director Kash Patel, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Acting National Security Agency Director William Hartman.
