An anonymous group of FBI agents and employees took the unusual step of suing the DOJ in a bid to prevent President Donald Trump and his allies from publicly disseminating a list of names of all the bureau's employees who worked on Jan. 6 criminal cases. Sarah Lynch and Andrew Goudsward have more.

The lawsuit was filed just hours before a 3 p.m. deadline imposed by Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, in which he ordered FBI leadership to turn over to him a list of every single FBI employee who worked to help investigate the Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
