A group of current and former federal agents suing the Department of Justice says that a pledge by the embattled former acting head of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the nation’s capital to “name” and “shame” prosecutors who worked on Jan. 6 cases poses a significant risk to their safety.

As Law&Crime has previously reported, a group of anonymous federal agents sued the DOJ in February, alleging that President Donald’s Trump directive to compile a list of those within the department who participated in Jan. 6 cases — as well as the failed prosecution of Trump’s alleged wrongful retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate — was an effort to “purge” the agency of his perceived political enemies.

In their complaint, the agents said they feared that “all or parts of this list might be published by allies of President Trump, thus placing themselves and their families in immediate danger of retribution by the now pardoned and at-large Jan. 6 convicted felons.” Notably, the DOJ has said that it could not guarantee that the list would not be publicly released by other entities or agencies of the federal government.

On Thursday, those agents filed a notice to U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb that Ed Martin — who Trump had named as Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, despite his reputation among federal prosecutors as an “egregiously unqualified political hack” — has now placed them in even more danger with public comments made Tuesday. “Mr. Martin’s statements represent new, relevant facts worthy of the Court’s attention while it considers Plaintiffs’ requested relief,” the filing says.
