WASHINGTON (Reuters) - FBI employees were ordered on Sunday to answer a detailed list of questions about any work they may have done on criminal cases related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump, stoking fear among staff about a fresh round of firings at the law enforcement agency.

Bove on Friday ordered the acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll to compile a list of all current and former FBI employees who were assigned "at any time" to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack investigation for review "to determine whether any additional personnel actions are necessary," according to a memo reviewed by CBS News.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thousands of FBI employees who participated in investigations related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol are being asked to complete in-depth questionnaires about their involvement in the inquiries as the Trump administration Justice Department weighs disciplinary actions that could result in firings.

A questionnaire was sent to managers who may have overseen agents or other staffers who worked on a Jan. 6 investigation, according to people familiar with the matter.

Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove sent a memo to the acting FBI director Friday evening directing him to terminate eight FBI employees, Fox News has learned.

The Trump administration has fired a group of prosecutors involved in the Jan. 6 criminal cases and demanded the names of FBI agents involved in those same probes so that they can possibly be ousted.

FBI employees must explain in a questionnaire by Monday whether they were involved in the surveillance, arrest or trial of a Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot suspect.
