The plaintiffs in this case are the Federal Bureau of Investigation Agents Association and a group of seven anonymous Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) employees. Upon returning to office, President Trump ordered the FBI to make a list of all employees involved in investigations of the January 6th, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol Building, and share that list with the Department of Justice for investigation. The plaintiffs have sued the Department of Justice to prevent further dissemination of information about FBI agents who investigated January 6th. The plaintiffs argued that the creation and dissemination of a list of January 6th investigators violates the Privacy Act as well as the First Amendment rights of FBI agents.
On February 6, 2025 this case was consolidated with Does 1-9 v. Department of Justice (1:25-cv-003285), continuing under the name Does 1-9 v. Department of Justice.
