A group of FBI employees and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Agents Association (FBIAA) are asking a judge to prevent the Trump administration from releasing a list of FBI employees who worked on January 6th investigations. They argue the list is not secure and could jeopardize the safety and reputation of those on it. The Justice Department, however, says there is no evidence the list would be leaked and that the FBI's concerns are based on speculation.
Attorneys appearing on behalf of the FBI AA and more than a dozen anonymous FBI employees argued to Judge Jia Cobb that she should impose a temporary restraining order against the Trump administration that bars it from disseminating the list to the public. The attorneys argued that at present, the list was not secure and could leak out of the government, jeopardizing the safety and reputation of those on it.
President Donald Trump’s DOJ appointees have vowed to review what critics have described as politically motivated efforts to pursue Jan. 6 cases aggressively during the Biden administration. The list was intended to aid in that review. “We have seen that happening in other agencies. We have seen Elon Musk working for the so-called DOGE agency release names of individuals,” Donovan said.
“The people who did this, they need to feel the heat, they need to be put behind bars, and they need to be prosecuted,” Tarrio wrote. “Success is going to be retribution.”
