What does
"the conservative press touting damning revelations to come." (last line)
mean?
Context>>>
Barr’s presentation of the special counsel’s investigation as essentially clearing Trump of wrongdoing generated favorable headlines for the president and obscured key findings from Robert Mueller’s 448-page report. The review he ordered of the intelligence community’s conduct in the Russia probe may not yield the bombshells imagined by the president and his defenders, but it has fed a steady drip of stories in the conservative press touting damning revelations to come.

damning revelations to come = revelations that are expected to come that will damn (prove extremely dangerous to) someone (in this case, to Democrats)
These revelations are being touted by the conservative press (media). To tout means to try to sell something, to put it forward as an awesome thing. This term is often used in a derogatory manner, implying that someone who is touting something is probably going too far to sell it. So this is saying that the conservative media are warning that they will have amazing revelations, but are likely exaggerating.
The "touting" clause itself refers not the the conservative press, but to the steady drip of stories. That is, those stories are in the conservative press AND those stories are touting the revelations to come. This doesn't really change the meaning, I'm just clarifying the grammatical structure here.

‘Tout’ means to talk boastfully and repeatedly to promote.
‘Damning’ means that it proves wrong doing.
‘Revelations’ are secrets and hidden information to be uncovered.
‘To come’ is for things to happen at a later time.
So, stories being published by conservative media (like Fox News)were talking boastfully and repeatedly to promote (touting) that there are secrets and hidden information to be uncovered at a later time about the conduct of the intelligence committee.
These revelations will prove the intelligence committee’s wrong doings in how they handled the Russia probe.
