FBI, DOJ strike agreement in lawsuit over January 6 agent list amid fears of retaliation
Story by Breanne Deppisch • 21h •
The Justice Department and a group of FBI agents reached an agreement in federal court Friday over the dissemination of information about FBI agents involved in the Jan. 6 investigation.
According to the text of the deal, the Trump administration cannot release information about the FBI agents who investigated the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot without giving plaintiffs at least two days' notice so that the matter can be considered again in federal court.
It does not, however, place such a time limit on the dissemination of agents' identities to other government agencies or the White House.
The deal resolves, at least for now, a dispute over the release of information that agents said they feared could be used for retaliation or leaked to the public.
