Speaking during an appearance on Fox News Channel, the former podcaster and FNC personality turned current Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Dan Bongino, sounded off on former FBI Director James Comey, exposing that an entire room full of missing evidence from Comey’s era had been found in the FBI building.
That came when Bongino appeared on Fox & Friends on Thursday, May 29, and took the opportunity to sound off Comey across a broad swathe of areas, commenting not only on the missing evidence room but also on the Instagram post Comey made in which he called for the assassination of President Trump.
Kicking off the missing evidence part of the conversation, Fox & Friends co-host Lawrence Jones asked Bongino, “Does [Comey] still but, does he still have loyalists in the building? Because when I hear the FBI director saying, You guys are finding boxes that are hidden. Okay, how does that happen in the bureau?”
Responding, Bongino first told him that there are good people in the FBI who proved very willing to work with him and Kash Patel on rooting out fraud, saying, “Well, we were there a couple of weeks, and luckily, there were a lot of people up there who grabbed us by the arm the minute we came in and said, ‘Thank you for being here. You know, we need to talk.'”
Building on that, Bongingo noted that those people were horrified by what the past FBI leadership had been up to and that the misdeeds included the hidden room, saying, “There are people there who are really horrified at what happened. And there was a room, and we found stuff, a lot of a hidden room, I wouldn’t call it hidden, but hidden from us, at least, and not mentioned to us.”
Explaining what was in the room, Bongino noted that much of the newly rediscovered evidence that had been hidden in the secret room came from the time when James Comey was in charge of the FBI for President Obama, saying, “And then we found stuff in there, and a lot of it’s from the Comey era.”
He further noted that he and FBI Director Kash Patel are doing their best to declassify information as quickly as they can, saying, “And we are working our damnedest right now to declassify just so you know, because I get the public, I totally understand people saying, ‘well do it now.’ The process is, not all the information is ours to declassify. Some is other intelligence agencies’. It’s not, we literally can’t do it.”

Concluding, Bongino noted that some of what will be released is what was found hidden, saying, “And you read some of the stuff, we found that, by the way, was not processed through the normal procedure, digitizing it, putting in FBI records. We found it in bags, hiding, under [James] Comey’s FBI.”
Conservative X personality Nick Sortor, posting the clip, said, “🚨 JUST IN: Dan Bongino says they’ve discovered an entire ROOM full of intentionally mishandled and hidden evidence from Comey’s FBI.” He added, “Comey’s days as a free man are numbered.” Watch the clip here:
