FBI agents filed a lawsuit against the Trump Justice Department, seeking to block their identities from being publicly released.
1:22 min listen

Full story

  • The FBI provided the DOJ with a list of about 4,000 employees involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot investigations, including their roles and office locations. Nine FBI agents filed a lawsuit to protect their identities, fearing retaliation from Trump supporters.
  • The FBI Agents Association also sought legal protection for its members.
  • Trump has criticized the FBI, calling it “corrupt.”

The FBI handed over a list of agents who worked on the Jan. 6 Capitol riot cases to the Department of Justice (DOJ) Tuesday, Feb. 4. Instead of names, the FBI provided employee ID numbers, titles, roles, activities and office locations for roughly 4,000 employees.

Over the years, the DOJ has launched several investigations into Donald Trump. From 2017 to 2019, Special Counsel Robert Mueller looked into whether Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election. The Mueller report found Russian interference but no evidence to charge Trump’s campaign with conspiracy or coordination.

Later, federal prosecutors investigated whether Trump’s involvement in hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels and model Karen McDougal violated campaign finance laws. No federal charges were filed against Trump, but his lawyer, Michael Cohen, was convicted for related violations.

After Trump left office in 2021, the FBI began investigating his possession of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. In August 2022, the FBI executed a search warrant and seized numerous documents.

Following the Jan. 6 riot, the DOJ began probing Trump’s role in the events, with ongoing scrutiny over his actions before and during the riot.

Last week, the Trump DOJ ordered the FBI to identify all employees who worked on Jan. 6 cases. In response, nine anonymous FBI agents filed a lawsuit to block their identities from being made public, arguing it could expose them to retaliation from Trump supporters. They fear Trump’s allies might publish the list, putting them and their families in danger.

Trump has criticized the FBI, calling it “corrupt,” and when asked about potential firings, he did not offer specifics.

The FBI Agents Association, representing more than 14,000 current and former agents, also filed a lawsuit Tuesday seeking to protect the agents’ identities.

The DOJ has not commented on the lawsuits.
