Kash Patel confirmed Tuesday the Round River classification banner placed atop documents related to the supposed investigation into Biden-family corruption was “fake” — just as Senate Chuck Grassley suggested in an August letter to the FBI director. In that same letter, the Iowa senator noted serious concerns over FBI agents in D.C. downgrading allegations of criminality relating to the Biden family.

Patel testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on a wide-range of topics, including everything from the Bureau’s zeroing out of the backlog of nearly two million DNA samples last month, to agents’ continuing disruption of domestic terrorism plots. Under questioning from Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley, Patel also confirmed something the Iowa senator hinted at in an August 17, 2026 letter to the Attorney General Todd Blanche and the FBI director — that members of Round River misclassified documents to conceal evidence of Biden family corruption.

As Grassley explained during the hearing, Round River was the name of the investigation run out of FBI headquarters, in conjunction with the Foreign Influence Task Force (“FITF”), with whistleblowers claiming Round River sought to “improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation and caused investigative activity to cease.”

Grassley’s letter from last month noted that “some Round River documents include banner markings to identify classified information; however, the banner markings include ‘Round River’ as a classification code.” As The Federalist previously reported, the FBI’s coding system methodically details the proper banner format, with documents required to first be classified as Top Secret, Secret, Confidential, or Unclassified, and with the names of investigations then incorporated for “Special Access Program.” That reality tracks with Grassley’s statement in his August letter that “it appears the Wray FBI treated Round River as a Special Access Program when all accounts provided to us so far show no indication that it was in fact such a program.”
