An agreement was reached on Friday between FBI employees and the Justice Department regarding the protection of sensitive information related to employees who worked on January 6 cases, including the one against Donald Trump. The court order prohibits the DOJ from releasing a list of FBI employees publicly, to the White House, or to any other government agency without providing two days' notice.
The decision comes after concerns were raised about safeguarding the information of over 5,000 FBI employees, gathered through a survey and shared with Justice Department leadership, to prevent any potential leaks to the public. Several FBI employees, supported by the agency's union, expressed fears for their safety if their identities were made public. They specifically worried about the list being shared with the White House or other government entities, which could lead to their names becoming public.
