FBI agents try to block Justice Dept. effort to examine Trump, Jan. 6 cases
Using information about cases involving Jan. 6 or President Donald Trump to fire FBI employees would be unlawful and retaliatory, attorneys for nine agents said.
A group of nine FBI agents asked a federal judge on Tuesday to block the Trump administration’s efforts to collect information on thousands of case agents across the country who worked on investigations tied to President Donald Trump or the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Attorneys for the agents, who filed suit anonymously in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, said any effort to use that information as a basis to fire FBI employees would be unlawful, retaliatory and a violation of civil service protections.
They also raised concerns that administration officials might make public the names of agents involved in the Jan. 6 cases, “placing themselves and their families in immediate danger of retribution by the now pardoned and at-large Jan. 6 convicted felons.”
Each of the plaintiffs in the suit worked either on a Jan. 6 case or the investigation into Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents after his first term as president, their lawsuit states. They are seeking an injunction that would bar the Justice Department from any “aggregation, storage, reporting, publication or dissemination” of any list or compilation of agents that would identify agents and other personnel.
