Two groups of unnamed FBI agents who participated in the Jan. 6 investigations and the probe into Donald Trump's classified documents have filed lawsuits against the Justice Department, alleging they were instructed to fill out a survey about their roles in those cases. The agents fear the survey's purpose is to identify them for termination as politically motivated retribution, potentially exposing them to danger from pardoned Jan. 6 convicted felons. They seek to enjoin the Justice Department from publishing or disseminating any lists linking FBI agents to the Jan. 6 and Mar-a-Lago case activities.
