FBI Director Kash Patel has discovered thousands of sensitive documents related to the origins of the Trump–Russia investigation hidden in "burn bags" inside a secret room at the FBI headquarters. These documents, described as containing information marked "secret" and higher, were reportedly en route to destruction before being uncovered. The discovery was reported by Fox News and has drawn attention as the files are now being prepared for release to Congress. Patel has indicated that additional files related to the Trump–Russia probe, often referred to as a "hoax," are expected to be made public soon.
