A Biden-appointed judge dismissed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Thursday brought by FBI agents who worked on Jan. 6 investigations.
Agents’ concerns that the Department of Justice (DOJ) would retaliate and publicly disclose a list of those who worked on Jan. 6 cases are “too speculative,” Judge Jia Cobb, a Biden appointee, wrote in her 32-page opinion finding the agents lack standing to sue.
“They do not plausibly allege that Defendants are about to engage in any of the conduct agents are worried about,” she wrote.
Agents sued early in February after leadership instructed them to complete a survey about their work on Jan. 6 investigations, fearing the release of their information to the public would place them at risk. While Cobb said she “understands why Plaintiffs want certain assurances from the government,” she wrote that there is nothing in the complaint or the record that supports their argument.
