As of now, there is no verifiable evidence to support FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino’s claim of discovering a “room full of evidence” from James Comey’s tenure that was allegedly hidden in bags and never digitized.
Bongino made these assertions during a May 2025 interview on Fox & Friends, suggesting that the materials were concealed and not properly entered into FBI databases.
However, these statements have not been corroborated by independent sources or official FBI communications. Bongino’s comments come amid his and FBI Director Kash Patel’s efforts to reform the bureau, which include reopening investigations into high-profile cases from the previous administration (The Guardian).
Given the lack of independent verification, it’s important to approach Bongino’s claims with caution until further information is made available.
