The Trump administration was sued on Tuesday in two separated civil complaints related to a request for information on FBI employees who worked in cases involving President Donald Trump and the disturbance of the Capitol of January 6, and a third demand that challenges the Data elimination of the websites of the Federal Health Agency.
The demands are the last in a growing number of legal savings that seek to block, or decrease the speed, the rapid series of executive actions that Trump and his allies have taken since he returned to the White House on January 20.
The three cases were presented in the United States District Court in Washington, DC.
The first case, a class action complaint, was presented by a group of nine unidentified FBI agents and employees of the Agency against the Department of Justice.
This demand seeks to block the publication or dissemination of information in the surveys that the plaintiffs or their supervisors have been ordered to complete the identification of “their specific role” in the cases involving the criminal cases of the Capitol of January 6, 2021 and the Criminal prosecution of Trump himself to retain classified records after leaving the White House in early 2021.
The demand says that the survey was issued “to identify the agents who will be fired or to suffer adverse employment actions.”
“Upon returning to the presidency, Trump ordered the Department of Justice to carry out a review and purge of the FBI staff involved in these investigations and prosecutions,” says the lawsuit.
“This directive is illegal and retaliation, and violates the Civil Service Reform Law.”
The lawsuit says that the plaintiffs “reasonably fear that all parties” of a list of FBI agents who worked in the cases of January 6 and Trump “could be published by President Trump's allies, thus placing their families and their families In the immediate danger of compensation for the now, on January 6, on January 6, the convicted criminals. “
The complaint says that part of the personal information of the plaintiffs “has already been published on January 6 criminals convicted on 'Dark Websites'”.
A second lawsuit, presented by the FBI agents association and seven unidentified agents against the Department of Justice, also indicates the survey requesting information on whether agents worked on criminal investigations related to January 6.
That complaint asks a judge to protect the plaintiffs “from the decision of early retaliation of those accused of exposing their personal information for the opprobrium and the possible action of vigil by those who were investigating.”
A lawyer from the agents of the second lawsuit, Chris Mattei of Koskoff, Koskoff and Bieder, said in a statement: “The Plan of the Department of Justice to free the names of the FBI agents who invested on January 6 is a terrible terrible atago against non -partisan public servants who have dedicated their lives to protect our communities and our nation. “
“It is clear that the threatened dissemination is a prelude to an illegal purge of the FBI only driven by the vindictive and political motivations of the Trump administration.” Mattei said. “Release the names of these agents would turn on a harassment storm towards them and their families and must stop immediately.”
CNBC has requested comments from the Department of Justice on costumes.
The third lawsuit was presented by the Doctors For America Defense Group against the Office of Personnel Management, the Department of Human Health and Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Food and Drug Administration.
This complaint challenges the abrupt elimination on Friday of the CDC and the FDA websites “a wide range of health -related data and other information.”
Zach Shelley, lawyer of the group of litigation of public citizens, who represents the doctors of the United States in the demand, told CNBC that “without the information that the CDC and these other agencies have eliminated, more people will get sick, more people more people They are going to suffer and more people will die. “
Shelley said that, under the Trump administration, “agencies are taking measures that undermine their declared mission.”
The demand says that the data is used regularly by “health professionals to diagnose and treat patients and researchers to advance public health, even through clinical trials aimed at establishing the safety and effectiveness of products doctors “.
The elimination of the data occurred two days after Charles Ezell, interim director of OPM, issued a memorandum that ordered the heads of federal agencies to “finish” programs “that promote or instill gender ideology” and eliminate all the Websites, social media accounts and other media that have that goal.
Ezell's order occurred more than a week after Trump signed an executive order entitled “to defend women from the extremism of gender ideology and restore biological truth to the federal government.”
The demand says that before that unbeatated elimination, the data sets had been on the websites for years.
Its elimination “creates a dangerous gap in the scientific data available to monitor and respond to disease outbreaks, deprives doctors from resources that guide clinical practice and eliminate key resources to communicate and interact with patients,” says the demand.
The CDCs eliminated the web pages for their youth risk behavioral surveillance system, pages dedicated to data on “School Health and Health”, as well as pages for “the Social Vulnerability Index” and “The Environmental Justice Index”, according to the demand.
A report and web pages related to HIV infections were also eliminated, says the complaint.
The FDA eliminated several pages, including one entitled “Sex difference study in clinical evaluation
of medical products, “and another entitled” Diversity action plans to improve the registration of
Participants of underrepresented populations in clinical studies. “
“The decisions of the CDC, the FDA and the HHS to eliminate the web pages and the data sets contradict their established missions and are causing and will cause substantial damage to the plaintiff and their members, as well as other doctors, researchers and patients who They trust the eliminated web pages.
OPM, HHS and CDC spokesmen declined to comment on the demand. The FDA Media Affairs Office did not immediately respond to comments requests.
