Days later, Patel <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FBIDirectorKash\/status\/1951732076983750888\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">wrote on X<\/a>: &#8220;We just uncovered burn bags\/room filled with hidden Russia Gate files.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The FBI&#8217;s investigation into Russian election interference \u2014 dubbed &#8220;Crossfire Hurricane&#8221; \u2014 was opened during the 2016 campaign and continued into Mr. Trump&#8217;s first term.

Last month, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/tulsi-gabbard-political-battles-2016-election-documents-russia\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">declassified documents<\/a><\/span> that she claimed called into question the 2017 intelligence community report.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gabbard accused Obama-era officials of &#8220;treasonous conspiracy&#8221; and a &#8220;years-long coup&#8221; to undermine Mr. Trump, and said she would refer the matter to the Justice Department for possible criminal investigation. Patrick Rodenbush, a spokesperson for former President Barack Obama, called the allegations &#8220;bizarre&#8221; and &#8220;ridiculous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Patel is another vociferous critic of how the agency he now leads handled the Russia investigation. In 2023, he penned a book titled &#8220;Government Gangsters,&#8221; which calls the FBI &#8220;thoroughly compromised&#8221; and <a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books?id=pvyuEAAAQBAJ&amp;printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">rails against<\/a> a sweeping &#8220;Deep State&#8221; that he alleges victimized Mr. Trump with a &#8220;witch hunt&#8221; investigation.<\/p>\n<p>Critics of the FBI&#8217;s Russia investigation have long accused the bureau of acting with political animus against Mr. Trump or mishandling elements of the probe. An internal Justice Department watchdog found in 2019 that the FBI did not show &#8220;political bias&#8221; and that the FBI was justified in opening the probe, but <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/ig-report-release-justice-department-watchdog-report-origins-russia-investigation-today-2019-12-09-live-updates\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">criticized some<\/a><\/span> of the FBI&#8217;s practices, including the warrants that were used to surveil ex-Trump aide Carter Page.
