US Department of Justice

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is the federal agency responsible for enforcing laws and administering justice across the United States. It handles criminal prosecution, legal defense of the government, and oversees agencies like the FBI. The DOJ ensures laws are applied fairly, investigates crimes, and works to protect citizens’ rights. Led by the Attorney General, it operates independently from other branches of government to uphold the rule of law, maintain national security, and promote justice in society.
