Acting AG reveals the unexpected place where a 'burn bag' was found
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche revealed that the Department of Justice discovered a room packed with documents from former special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into Donald Trump.
Speaking on the "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" podcast, Blanche said the room was not officially a "secret" but that personnel were unaware of it. His comments come after FBI Director Kash Patel and former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino also discussed documents discovered by investigators.
"We found a room like that at DOJ, a few months ago," Blanche said. "It's not fair to say it was a secret room, but it's a room that had a lot of material in it."
Blanche added that the documents were found in "burn bags," which are typically used to destroy sensitive documents for security purposes. He said while it’s not uncommon to use these types of bags to get rid of sensitive information, where it was left led him to believe an "honorable" agent may have been trying to preserve it.
