FBI agents allege the Bureau is creating a list of agents involved in the January 6th investigation and Trump's classified documents case, potentially leading to firings and privacy violations.
FBI agents are suing the Bureau, alleging that it is compiling a list of agents who worked on the January 6th Capitol riot and the investigation into former President Donald Trump 's handling of classified documents . The lawsuit, filed in Washington, D.C., claims that the agents were told to complete a survey identifying their roles in these investigations and that they fear being fired based on the information gathered.
The agents also allege that some of their personal information has appeared on the dark web, potentially exposing them to further threats.The lawsuit argues that the FBI's actions violate the agents' First and Fifth Amendment rights and federal privacy laws. It claims that the purpose of the list is to identify agents for termination or other adverse employment action, and that it could be leaked to allies of Trump, putting the agents and their families at risk of retribution from January 6th rioters.The agents' lawyers point to recent reports of Elon Musk and individuals associated with him attempting to access government databases containing personal information, raising concerns that the FBI's compiled list could be compromised. They argue that the information being gathered is sensitive and should not be readily available to unauthorized individuals. The lawsuit seeks to prevent the FBI from publishing or sharing any list that identifies FBI personnel and their involvement in the January 6th or Mar-a-Lago investigations
