From the Daily Mail: The FBI is being forced by Elon Musk’s DOGE to hand over the names of 5,000 officials who worked on January 6 cases.
Those officials could face being fired for failing the Trump ‘loyalty test’ being given to rank-and-file employees.
Officials working for Musk at DOGE were spotted by CNN entering FBI headquarters on Tuesday in Washington, D.C., to collect the information.
FBI agents filed a lawsuit Tuesday trying to block the release of their names or identifying details after Trump administration officials demanded documents about who worked on January 6-related cases.
The agents say their jobs could be terminated within days.
The ‘loyalty’ test asks questions such as: ‘What was your/your employee role in the investigation(s) or prosecutions(s) relating to events that occurred at or near the US Capitol on January 6, 2021? Select all that apply.’
It then lists a series of boxes that includes investigatory work such as surveillance, a grand jury subpoena, or an arrest.

In a separate report, CNN wrote: Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, in a Friday memo with the subject line “Terminations,” had given FBI officials a noon deadline Tuesday to submit the details of thousands of agents and analysts. Bove previously ordered the firing of eight senior FBI officials, including those who oversaw cyber, national security and criminal investigations.
More than 5,000 employee details were submitted, including employee ID numbers, job titles and their role in the January 6 investigations, sources said, but not their names. There are more than 13,000 agents and 38,000 total FBI employees.

5,000 FBI agents to investigate misdemeanor trespass. This is a total disgrace. It’s hard to see why the FBI should continue to exist at all. pic.twitter.com/0khG1FvKz8
