Kash Patel Alleges ‘Bogus Intelligence’ Fueled Russia Probe Targeting Trump’s 2016 Campaign
Kash Patel alleges the FBI obtained surveillance warrants using unverified intelligence and that sensitive Russia probe documents were found in a hidden room at FBI headquarters.
- FBI Director Kash Patel accused the FBI of lying to obtain illegal surveillance warrants against President Donald Trump during his 2016 campaign. "The FISA court themselves came back and said these warrants were illegal," Patel said.
- Patel alleged that political actors hired assets to manufacture "fraudulent, fake, unverified information" and funnel it to the FBI to spy on Trump's campaign. National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accused Obama-era officials of a "treasonous conspiracy" to harm Trump.
- Inside FBI headquarters, Patel discovered a room "off the map" containing sensitive documents from the Russia investigation. A classified annex to a 2023 report by John Durham concluded the FBI suffered from "confirmation bias" against Trump.
- The Department of Justice opened a grand jury investigation into the allegations and subpoenaed former FBI director James Comey regarding the intelligence community's assessment of Russian election interference. Two cases accusing people of lying to the FBI resulted in acquittals.
- Former President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have repeatedly denied allegations of orchestrating surveillance, while Trump has claimed for years the investigation was a "witch hunt." The dispute remains unresolved amid ongoing political conflict.
