United States Department of Justice (DOJ)
Federal Legal Authority and Criminal Prosecution (National Security, Corruption, Witness Protection)Description
The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) serves as the federal legal authority that evaluates, investigates, and prosecutes complex national-security and corruption cases. In the current material the DOJ appears through a Special Prosecutor, William Thornton, who leads a prosecutorial review of $47 million diverted into arms trafficking, human smuggling, and linked assassinations. The office coordinates with FBI agents, local officials, and witness-protection units, applies evidentiary assessment and prosecutorial discretion, and weighs political and operational risks when deciding charges and protective measures for cooperating witnesses.
