FBI employees and the Department of Justice agreed to a court order on Friday, prohibiting DOJ from publishing the list of FBI employees who worked in the January 6 case. 2-day notification.
The agreement is the latest in a series of discussions on how to protect the information of more than 5,000 FBI employees.
Several FBI employees, along with the agency’s union, pleaded that they feared their safety if their identities were made public. Employees were particularly afraid that the list would be handed over to either the White House or the Doge.
Friday’s consent order reached Friday’s consent order a day after the FBI provided employee names to the Department of Justice through a classified system to protect employees from publicly identifying them.
“The government will not spread the list of issues in these integrated cases (and subsequent versions of that list, including records comparing the unique identifiers of that list with names). “Expected movements” reads the order.
“In the absence of further court orders, the government can terminate the prohibition, by providing two business days with “the court of intent to end” in the election,” the consent order states. Masu.
Cobb initially resisted enacting a temporary restraining order, as it identified only the employee’s ID number because it was only identified in the investigation. The parties proposed to consider whether the Department of Justice would allow the list to be handed over in a two-day notice.
However, after a full day hearing on the issue on Thursday night, the FBI leadership said in a memo obtained by CNN it complied with a request to hand over names from the Department of Justice.
In both the memo and the court hearing, the Department of Justice argues that the department is not intending to publish the list. Deputy FBI Director Brian Driscoll told department staff on Thursday that leadership said “concerns about the safety of our personnel and that we will be open to you and your family if these lists are published.” The risks posed have been repeated again.”
