FBI agents are submitting a lawsuit to prevent the Trump team from disclosing their identity

Two anonymous sets of FBI agents and employees filed lawsuits on Tuesday, trying to prevent Trump’s administration from issuing the identity of agents and staff members who participated in investigations in the matter of riots in the capitol on January 6, 2021.

The lawsuits arrived in response to the request of Emil Bove, deputy prosecutor general that the FBI would compile and handed over the list of everyone who worked on these matters. As many agents can have up to 6,000 agents.

Court lawsuits stated that agents believed that the administration intended to reveal their identity by exposing agents and their families to deep danger. They are looking for court orders prohibiting the executive department of release of names.

Trump’s administration did not say that she was going to free the identity of law enforcement officers, but her demand for the names of people who worked on matters, delighted the belief that they could slow down massively. In the Department of Justice, prosecutors who worked on matters involving President Trump or on January 6 riots were released. Court cases on Tuesday seem to postpone a marker that can expand to a challenge for all mass fire, if it happens.

“It is obvious that the threatened disclosure is a prelude to the unlawful purge of the FBI driven only with vindictive and political motivations of the Trump administration,” said Chris Mattei, lawyer of the federal Bureau of Investigation agents Association. “The release of the names of these agents would ignite the storm of harassment towards them and their families and this should be stopped immediately.”

One of the casessubmitted on behalf of nine unnamed agents and employees of the FBI, is stylized as a collective lawsuit on behalf of the office staff who worked in matters on January 6 or investigation in the matter of servicing by Mr. Trump of closed documents, which he kept with him Florida Club and Residence, Mar-a- Lago, after leaving the office.

“The plaintiffs are employees of the FBI who worked in matters on January 6 and/or Mar-A-Lago and who were informed that they would probably be resolved in the near future (week 3-9, 2025) for such activities,” said this complaint.

He added that a possible class would represent “at least 6,000 current and former FBI agents and employees who participated in the investigation and prosecution of crimes and the abuse of power by Donald Trump or those acting on his command.”

This case is served by the Employment Center, which is represented by people who claim that they have been hurt in their workplaces.

Second case He was submitted on behalf of the federal Bureau of Investigation Agents Association and seven unnamed agents and FBI employees, and is not planted as a collective action. It was submitted together with the application for a temporary order to restrict.

It is served by the lawyers of the Association, together with Marek ZAID and the Defenders of State Democracy Fund, which describes as an impartial group that fights with “election sabotage and autocracy.”

It is said that agents expect that the Department of Justice “will soon take action against numerous FBI agents, including individual reasons listed here” and that “these actions will cause the identity of individual FBI agents to be revealed, which will cause this to cause immediate and irreversible damage to the reasons who will be harassed and threatened with violence in violation of their first amendment and rights to the proper trial. “

Mr. Zaid and two fund leaders, Eisen standards and retired federal judge Nancy Gertner, In a letter to the Department of Justice On Sunday, he warned the administration against issuing the identity of agents and threatened with court disputes.
