FBI Director Kash Patel revealed a discovery of a stash of documents tied to the Russia investigation sealed away in 'burn bags' in a secret room of the bureau.

The documents consist of the classified annex to former Special Counsel John Durham's final report on the origins of the FBI investigation into Donald Trump's original campaign, which includes the underlying intelligence he reviewed, a spokesperson for the FBI told the Daily Mail.

Durham examined the FBI's investigation into potential links between Trump campaign officials and Russia during the 2016 election and concluded the FBI should have not launched the investigation given the evidence it had at the time.

A person familiar with the discovery speculated to the Daily Mail that it was likely an oversight by previous directors that prevented the documents from being destroyed.

The person added that it's likely the documents would have never seen the light of day if the FBI wasn't diligently looking through everything it comes across at the bureau.

The findings were turned over to Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and will be released later Wednesday, the FBI spokesperson said. 

President Trump said he supported releasing the information.

'I want everything to be shown, as long as it is fair and reasonable,' he said.
