FBI says it would take '158 years' to process all 'hidden room' records: Judicial Watch

The filing was in response to the watchdog's Freedom of Information Act request, which asked the court to allow it to question the FBI, through a limited deposition, about its handling of the records.

Conservative legal watchdog Judicial Watch announced Friday that the FBI told a federal court in a status update recently it would take them "158 years" to process all the records from a "hidden room" in the bureau's headquarters in Quantico.

The filing was in response to the watchdog's Freedom of Information Act request, which asked the court to allow it to question the FBI, through a limited deposition, about its handling of the records.

The bureau said last year that it found "burn bags" in a hidden room at the headquarters, which contained classified information related to Crossfire Hurricane and other FBI inquiries into President Donald Trump and his allies.

Judicial Watch is seeking information on who discovered the room and when, who had access to it, the room's security classification, how records ended up stored in file cabinets, safes, boxes, and burn bags, what the FBI has done to bring them under standard records management and whether the records were ever searched.

The FBI said the room also had filing cabinets and the room contained more than two million pages of records altogether. The files were separated into “legacy files,” which referred to older records mostly tied to two closed historical investigations and more recent files tied to active investigations.

The bureau said it is processing the records discovered in the room at a rate of 500 pages a month, which will take it approximately 158 years to complete.

“American citizens should be outraged that the FBI just told a federal court judge that its stonewalling means it will take 158 years to release the 2 million weaponization and lawfare records in its secret ‘burn bag’ room,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement. “The American people need to know today how the FBI was used as a political weapon against Donald Trump and other innocents.”

The FBI said it opposes Judicial Watch's request for discovery and a status conference for the case is expected to take place next week.

Grassley asks Verizon to clarify its failure to disclose Arctic Frost subpoenas to Congress

The letter comes after Grassley asked Verizon in 2023 to search for all requests or orders made by the Justice Department or any federal law enforcement agency between January 2016 – October 2023 related to Senate devices and Crossfire Hurricane.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley sent a letter to Verizon on Thursday, seeking information on its decision to hand over senators' phone toll records to Special Counsel Jack Smith and its failure to disclose its actions to affected members of Congress.

Grassley has led an investigation into Smith and his alleged efforts to prosecute President Donald Trump and his allies, which included the revelation that Smith subpoenaed phone records of multiple GOP senators during the Arctic Frost investigation, including Tennessee Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Florida GOP Sen. Rick Scott.

The House Judiciary Committee has also launched a probe into Smith's and the Biden administration's FBI's Arctic Frost investigation.

“Jack Smith oversaw a sweeping and unprecedented investigation that swept up records from hundreds of Republican entities, including the phone toll records and text messages from myself and dozens of my colleagues,” Grassley said in a statement. “Congress deserves to know the full picture of how Smith carried out Arctic Frost so it never happens again.

"As part of our investigation, we need to fully understand what Verizon knew about Smith’s subpoenas, when they became aware members were impacted and why the company didn’t inform members like they were supposed to," he added.

The letter comes after Grassley asked Verizon in 2023 to search for all requests or orders made by the Justice Department or any federal law enforcement agency between January 2016 and October 2023 related to Senate devices and Crossfire Hurricane.

Verizon failed to include the subpoena requests that Smith issued for Arctic Frost in 2023 in its response to Grassley's request that same year. Grassley and several colleagues are asking for clarification on why the subpoenas were not in the 2023 response.

Republican Sens. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin; Ted Cruz of Texas; Tommy Tuberville of Alabama; Ashley Moody of Florida and Mike Lee of Utah were among the co-signers of the letter.
