Patel fires back at media critics after uncovering secret FBI 'burn bags' with classified documents

FBI Director Kash Patel called out the left-wing media Saturday for labeling him a liar over his discovery of a trove of sensitive documents related to the origins of the Trump-Russia probe buried in multiple "burn bags" in a secret room inside the bureau.

Sources previously told Fox News Digital the "burn bag" system is used to destroy documents designated as classified or higher.

Sources also said multiple burn bags were found and filled with thousands of documents. One document FBI officials found in a burn bag, sources said, was the classified annex to former special counsel John Durham’s final report, which includes the underlying intelligence he reviewed.

Patel addressed the burn bags on X, reminding people of what he proved in 2017 and 2018.
