FBI Director Kash Patel has uncovered thousands of sensitive and classified documents linked to the origins of the Trump–Russia investigation inside multiple “burn bags” found in a previously undisclosed secure room at FBI headquarters, according to sources who spoke to Fox News Digital.

The “burn bag” system is used by intelligence agencies to destroy highly classified materials. Patel and his team located several such bags filled with documents, including what sources identified as the classified annex to former Special Counsel John Durham’s final report.

That annex reportedly contains the underlying intelligence Durham reviewed as part of his investigation into the origins of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane probe.

The process of declassifying the annex is underway and involves coordination between CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Patel, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and acting NSA Director William Hartman.

Once declassified, the annex is expected to be transmitted to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, who intends to make it public.

Sources briefed on the annex said it includes foreign intelligence collected by the U.S. community before the launch of Crossfire Hurricane, warning that the FBI would play a role in advancing the Trump–Russia collusion narrative.

One source told Fox News Digital that the intelligence “predicted the FBI’s next move with alarming specificity.”

“Mere days after this intelligence was collected, the FBI launched Crossfire Hurricane,” the source stated.

“It’s really hard to see how Brennan, Clapper and Comey are going to be able to explain this away.”

Fox News Digital reported that Patel’s team found the classified documents inside a sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF) that had not been previously disclosed.

Patel confirmed the find during a June interview on the Joe Rogan podcast, where he described discovering a room “that no one had ever seen or heard of” containing hard drives and documents hidden during James Comey’s tenure.

“Me, as director of the FBI, the former ‘Russiagate guy,’ when I first got to the bureau, found a room that Comey and others hid from the world in the Hoover Building,” Patel said.

“Full of documents and computer hard drives that no one had ever seen or heard of.”

Patel has since turned over many of the documents to Chairman Grassley.

Some of the materials pertain to investigative requests from the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is reviewing Durham’s work and examining how the Russia probe was initiated.

Patel previously served as the chief investigator for Rep. Devin Nunes on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), where he helped uncover surveillance abuses and the origins of the Trump–Russia allegations.

These efforts led to the release of a 2018 memo that revealed the Steele dossier—funded by the Clinton campaign and DNC—formed a central part of the FBI’s Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) application to spy on former Trump aide Carter Page.

The memo cited closed-door testimony from former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who said “no surveillance warrant would have been sought” without the Steele dossier.

It also noted that the FBI failed to disclose the political origins of the dossier to the FISA court.

Among those who signed off on FISA applications targeting Page were former FBI Director James Comey, McCabe, former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, and former Acting Deputy Attorney General Dana Boente.

“Kash was instrumental in unraveling the Russia collusion hoax and finding evidence of government malfeasance despite constant attempts by the FBI and DOJ to stonewall our investigation,” Nunes, now heading Truth Social, told Fox News Digital in early 2025.

The Department of Justice Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, later confirmed that the Steele dossier served as the primary basis for the Page surveillance.

Nunes also revealed that Patel himself was targeted during the investigation, with DOJ grand jury subpoenas used in 2017 to secretly obtain Patel’s personal email and phone records while he was working on the HPSCI investigation.

Patel, now as FBI Director, has opened a criminal investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan based on a referral from Ratcliffe and has also launched a separate probe into former FBI Director James Comey.

Grassley’s team is currently reviewing the newly uncovered documents.

The classified annex to Durham’s report, once declassified, is expected to provide new insight into how the FBI’s Trump–Russia investigation began and who was involved.
