FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino have announced the discovery of significant new evidence related to the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation. This revelation is part of a broader initiative to increase transparency within the bureau. Patel has pledged to release “truckloads” of previously undisclosed documents to Congress and the public within the next week, covering topics such as the January 6 Capitol riots, the Jeffrey Epstein case, and the opioid crisis.
Bongino has criticized former FBI Director James Comey for a recent Instagram post featuring the phrase “86 47,” interpreted by some as a veiled threat against President Donald Trump. The Secret Service has interviewed Comey regarding the post, and an investigation is ongoing.
Patel and Bongino have indicated that the forthcoming document releases will shed light on alleged misconduct during the Crossfire Hurricane probe, including misuse of the FISA process and suppression of exculpatory evidence. They emphasize that these disclosures aim to restore public trust in the FBI and ensure accountability.
