An attorney representing a group of FBI employees has raised concerns about the Trump administration's plan to release the names of individuals who worked on cases related to the January 6, 2021, US Capitol riot. The attorney stated that workers within the agency fear potential job loss and the safety of themselves and their families.
The attorney emphasized that the release of such information could make FBI employees targets for malicious actors, both domestic and international. The group, represented by the attorney, filed a class-action complaint accusing the Justice Department of violating the Constitution and privacy laws by requesting agents to complete a survey aimed at identifying personnel involved in Trump-related investigations.
