A list of 50 FBI employees in Utah, Idaho, and Montana, who were involved in investigating the U.S. Capitol riots or other matters displeasing to the Trump administration, has raised concerns of potential retaliation or terminations. The list includes agents and support personnel, prompting fears among staff members. The Salt Lake City Field Office, which oversees FBI personnel in these states, has not commented on the issue. The FBI Agents Association has filed a lawsuit to prevent any retaliation against agents who were simply following orders and carrying out their duties ethically. Attorney Chris Mattei, representing the Association, expressed concerns about potential harassment and targeting of these agents if their identities are disclosed. In response, Utah’s congressional delegation, including Senators Mike Lee and John Curtis, emphasized that federal agents should not be punished for carrying out lawful directives. The situation highlights the tension between the Trump administration and the FBI, as employees face uncertainty and possible repercussions for their investigative work.
