An anonymous group of FBI agents who worked on the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot investigation and other federal probes tied to President Trump are suing the federal government over the Justice Department's plans to review the FBI's workforce and scrutinize agents who may have worked on the sensitive investigations, according to a new court filing.
The agents are suing the Justice Department and its interim head, Acting Attorney General James McHenry, in a class action lawsuit on behalf of all affected FBI agents. They are asking a federal judge to prevent the public release of the names of the agents who could face scrutiny.
Tuesday's lawsuit is the latest salvo in an ongoing rift between career FBI employees and Justice Department leadership over the Trump administration's potential personnel changes within the bureau.
