The Justice Department has agreed to withhold the names of FBI agents who investigated the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, following concerns over potential retaliation and safety risks.
According to a court order filed Friday, the government will not publicly disclose the list of agents without providing 48 hours notice, giving the FBI agents time to challenge a planned release. The deal comes after anonymous FBI agents and the FBI Agents Association filed lawsuits to prevent the Justice Department from publishing the names, CBS reported.
