Summary

The FBI has provided the Justice Department with a list of 5,000–6,000 agents who worked on January 6 investigations, excluding names, after a weeklong standoff.

The move has sparked fears of retaliation if Donald Trump wins re-election. Two groups of agents sued to block the release of personal details, citing privacy concerns.

A court hearing is set for Friday to determine whether to extend a temporary order protecting agent identities.

Publicly releasing the names would amount to doxing.
