Summary

Nine anonymous FBI agents have sued Trump’s Justice Department, alleging an unlawful purge of officials involved in January 6 and Trump-related investigations.

The lawsuit challenges a DOJ survey used to identify and potentially fire agents, calling it political retribution.

Agents fear data breaches and retaliation, citing Elon Musk’s alleged access to government databases.

The lawsuit claims violations of privacy and First Amendment rights.
