Update: CNN reported Tuesday afternoon that the FBI turned over the names of the 5,000 employees who worked on J6 and Trump investigations.
Earlier today FBI Agents who worked on January 6 cases and Trump witch hunts sued to block the Justice Department from accessing their names.
As previously reported, names of the FBI officials who worked on January 6 cases and Trump witch hunts have been identified but not turned over.
According to NBC News, there were more than 2,400 cases in total – but 5,000 officials involved.
The FBI officials who worked on the J6 cases and Trump investigations were identified by a case management system.
The FBI has a Tuesday deadline to hand over the names of the requested officials.
Per NBC News reporter Ken Dilanian: An internal FBI document obtained by NBC News shows that executives use the FBIs Sentinel case file management system to identify agents and employees who worked on January 6 cases. The document says there were around 2400 investigations in total. The document says the search of case files was used to generate a list of names who then received a survey asking them exactly what they did on these cases. This is being viewed within the FBI as a retribution mission.
