The agent had searched Fanning's phone and found three videos showing child pornography, the report said. A further search revealed two more videos, the report said.
Fanning spoke with investigators and said he had numerous videos saved on his phone in a folder named "Y" and said the "folder was used to categorize the pornography as young," the report said.
Fanning told investigators the videos in the folder had been screen recorded via Twitter, now known as X, according to the report.
