FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino revealed Thursday morning that a previously undisclosed room containing mishandled evidence from former FBI Director James Comey’s tenure has been discovered inside FBI headquarters.
The announcement came during Bongino’s live interview on Fox & Friends, where he detailed the agency’s efforts to reopen investigations from the Biden-Harris administration and described what he called a major internal discovery that could have significant legal and political ramifications.
Bongino, who recently stepped into the senior leadership role under President Donald Trump’s administration, confirmed that an entire room filled with boxes of hidden evidence—much of it dating back to the Comey years—was located just weeks into his tenure.
“There was a room and we found a lot of stuff. A hidden room. I wouldn’t call it hidden, but hidden from us, at least, and not mentioned to us. We found stuff in there, and a lot of it’s from the Comey era,” Bongino stated.

The interview, conducted by co-host Lawrence Jones, began with Bongino discussing the reopening of several Biden-era investigations that had been previously closed or deprioritized.
Bongino said these cases were being revisited due to their "significant public interest."
While addressing concerns about lingering Comey loyalists inside the FBI, Jones asked, “Does he [Comey] still have loyalists in the building…You guys are finding boxes that are hidden. How does that happen in the bureau?”
Bongino acknowledged that the bureau still has internal divisions but said there are many agents disturbed by what had occurred in recent years.

“We were there a couple of weeks, and luckily, there were people up there who grabbed us by the arm and said, ‘Thank you for being here.’ There are people there who are really horrified at what happened,” Bongino explained.
Bongino indicated that the contents of the hidden room could have serious implications.
While he did not provide specific details about what the documents contained, he emphasized that they are working diligently to declassify them so the public can see the material for themselves.
“We are working our damndest to declassify…Once that gets done, and you read some of the stuff we found, you’re going to be stunned,” Bongino said.
He added, “Wait ’til you read this stuff that’s coming out.”

The revelation comes as tensions between Bongino and Comey have escalated in recent days.
Earlier this week, Bongino and FBI Director Kash Patel condemned a now-deleted Instagram post by Comey that displayed the number "8647"—a combination interpreted by many as a veiled threat toward President Trump.
The post triggered a spike in copycat threats, forcing the FBI to divert resources away from other ongoing investigations.
Comey, who served as FBI Director from 2013 to 2017, has remained a controversial figure due to his involvement in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation and his handling of other politically sensitive matters.
The contents of the room, once declassified, are expected to shed further light on decisions made during Comey’s tenure that critics say have yet to be fully investigated or explained.
The FBI has not confirmed a timeline for when the declassification process will be complete.

He added, “Wait ’til you read this stuff that’s coming out.”…. OK I’m waiting…. (this comment will remain relevant for the lifetime of this website)
Bongino is not prone to hyperbole, and he has never pushed a false narrative during his years as a podcaster. He would rather not be the first, but wait until information can be verified during those years. I trust we will not wait long, and certainly not nearly as long as Comey’s/Biden’s cover-ups on the matter. Still, as a Trump supporter and Bongino follower, I am also impatient. Godspeed!
He has pushed things like support for the R party when we needed a new party. I have disagreed with him several times, but thought he had good intentions. But this time he is not doing himself any favor by announcing anything but an arrest.
This.
The man has integrity and has a track record of backing up his claims with unimpeechable evidence.
You wont be relevant by sun up so FO DB
Put your helmet on Rob. You’re gonna need it.
Oh, a whole room full of Krakens then…
Comey MUST be tried, convicted, and given a choice. Bear legal witness against Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and all their FBI followers, or die in an El Salvador jail cell! He deserves no less!!!
Yet he walks free….
The only thing that would shock me, is actual prosecution. What do I expect? More announcements that something is coming.
We have heard “wait until you see………………..” for years. Now that Bondi / Patel / Bongino are in charge, all we got is “he killed himself”. If you have enough to arrest – then arrest. That doesn’t stop the investigations. In the name of all that doesn’t suck, GIVE US SOMETHING OTHER THAN LIP SERVICE.
Is this disclosure going to be made before or after the Epstein files that were supposed to be made public day one?
And of course, the Democrats and the Deep Saters are upset that this is being uncovered/ Anybody considering voting Democrat in the next election?
