‘Burn Bags’ Not Burned [WATCH]

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has located bags of documents connected to alleged corruption in the 2020 election and that the materials will be made public.

The announcement came as Trump addressed his administration during events in Washington, D.C., highlighting a federal crime crackdown and ongoing efforts to encourage negotiations to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

Trump described the discovery as significant and asked for a timeline on disclosure.

“And you’ve also found many bags of information. I think they call them burn bags. They’re supposed to be burned, and they didn’t get burned, having to do with how corrupt the 2020 election was. And when will that all come out?” he said.

Gabbard, who is serving as Director of National Intelligence, confirmed that teams working under her office had recovered the materials and are cataloging them.

“Mr. President, I will be the first to brief you once we have that information collected. But you’re right, we are finding documents literally tucked away in the back of safes in random offices in these bags and in other areas, which again speaks to the intent of those who are trying to hide the truth from the American people and trying to cover up the politicization that was led by people like John Brennan and James Clapper and others that have caused really immeasurable harm to the American people and to our country,” Gabbard said.

Neither Trump nor Gabbard provided a release date for the records or described specific agencies in possession of the materials.

Trump said the files contain “massive” evidence and indicated that public disclosure is expected once the review is complete.

Gabbard has previously outlined a broad set of inquiries into intelligence-community conduct and election-related issues.

In April, she said her office had opened multiple lines of investigation with a focus on voting systems and election integrity.

“I’ve got a long list of things that we’re investigating. We have the best going after this, election integrity being one of them,” Gabbard said.

She also described concerns about electronic systems used to record and count votes.

“We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a very long time and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast, which further drives forward your mandate to bring about paper ballots across the country so that voters can have faith in the integrity of our elections,” Gabbard said.

In June, Trump used his Truth Social account to urge the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

“Zero Border crossings for the month for TRUMP, verses 60,000 for Sleepy, Crooked Joe Biden, a man who lost the 2020 Presidential Election by a “LANDSLIDE!,” Trump wrote.

“Biden was grossly incompetent, and the 2020 election was a total FRAUD! The evidence is MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING.”

“A Special Prosecutor must be appointed,” he added. “This cannot be allowed to happen again in the United States of America! Let the work begin! What this Crooked man, and his CORRUPT CRONIES, have done to our Country in 4 years, is grossly indescribable!”

The White House and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence did not announce additional details Tuesday about the review process for the newly found materials.

Trump said the records would be released after government procedures are completed. Gabbard said she would brief the President first and emphasized that her teams are continuing to collect and secure documents “tucked away in the back of safes in random offices.”

Tuesday’s remarks add to a series of steps the administration has outlined on election-related matters.

Gabbard has said her office is prioritizing investigations involving alleged politicization within the intelligence community and the resilience of voting systems, while the President has called for national reforms aimed at increasing public confidence in election results, including paper-ballot initiatives.

No timeline for public release of the newly located documents has been set.

Gabbard said she would deliver an initial briefing to the President when the collection phase is complete and additional analysis has been conducted.
