The FBI could be compelled to identify all special agents who were present on U.S. Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, 2021, if a federal judge grants a motion from Jan. 6 defendant William Pope of Topeka, Kansas.

In a recent court filing before U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras, Mr. Pope cited three unidentified FBI special agents who were present on the east side of the U.S. Capitol when a large crowd surged up the steps to the Columbus Doors just after 2 p.m.
