When Navy SEALs raided Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in 2011, they found a huge cache of documents, which the US government has slowly made public.

Some content that will never hit the site, Bin Laden's Bookshelf, where information is being released?: the stash of pornography the Qaeda leader apparently kept with him.

Fox News host Bret Baier sat down with CIA Director Mike Pompeo on Monday and asked when more documents from the compound would be released.

"The documents sat long stretches virtually untouched as different intel bureaucracies fought over control of access to them," Baier said, adding that the director of national intelligence had "released fewer than 600 of them."

"You have worked to have those documents released," he said. "When will the American people see them?"

Pompeo responded that the government would be releasing more documents "very soon" but that some content would be kept in the vault.

"Bret, we will release all but - there's some pornography, there's some copyrighted material - and everything other than those items will be released in the weeks ahead," Pompeo said.

Bin Laden's porn stash has long been the subject of fascination. Reuters first reported on it after the raid of his compound in 2011, during which he was killed.

Officials are not sure where the pornography was found or who was viewing it but have said the collection contained recorded video and is "fairly extensive."

The men's-interest publication BroBible once filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the porn collection, but the CIA rejected it.
