A federal judge tossed a lawsuit brought by FBI officials involved in investigations tied to the 2021 attack on the Capitol in a case over fears that the Trump administration would release their identities.
Judge Jia M. Cobb of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed the case Thursday. Her 32-page ruling stated that discovery revealed no evidence that the government is on the verge of disclosing the officials’ identities.
The FBI officials had asked the court to prevent the government from disseminating any personally identifiable information.
