FBI agents involved in investigations related to President Donald Trump have filed lawsuits against the Justice Department over concerns that a list of employees involved in those inquiries could lead to mass firings. The lawsuits, filed in federal court in Washington, demand an immediate halt to the collection and potential dissemination of names of investigators who participated in probes of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
The suits come after revelations that the Justice Department requested the names, offices, and titles of all employees involved in Jan. 6 investigations to evaluate potential personnel actions. Thousands of FBI employees were asked to fill out detailed questionnaires about their involvement in these probes, raising fears of termination.
