Secret Trump–Russia Documents Found at FBI HQ

FBI Director Kash Patel discovered thousands of classified documents related to the Trump–Russia 'Crossfire Hurricane' investigation hidden in 'burn bags' at FBI headquarters, including a previously unreleased 29-page classified annex to Special Counsel John Durham’s 2023 report. The annex reportedly contains foreign-sourced intelligence warning that the FBI might promote a false Trump–Russia collusion narrative prior to the official start of the 2016 probe, predicting such actions with 'alarming specificity.' The documents are being declassified in coordination with top Trump-era officials and are set to be provided to Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley for public release. Some sources believe the intelligence suggests a coordinated effort within the US government to aid the Clinton campaign by generating controversy around Trump. Critics argue the revelations serve as a distraction, while supporters say they support accusations of political bias in the FBI’s original investigation. The pending release of the documents is expected to reignite debate over the conduct of US intelligence and law enforcement during the 2016 election.
