FBI agents who worked on cases surrounding the January 6 attack and investigations into Donald Trump are suing the Department of Justice to block the administration from “unlawful” and “retaliatory” purges as the president and his allies launch a campaign of “retribution” against government agencies.
A class action lawsuit brought by nine anonymous agents in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday includes a copy of a three-page survey that Justice Department leadership is using to identify agents who worked on cases involving the president and the prosecution of hundreds of people in connection with the Capitol assault.
