A conservative legal advocacy group has filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice, alleging a top DOJ official involved in the 2022 raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home had an improper bias against the former president and should have recused himself.

America First Legal (AFL), an organization founded by former senior White House adviser Stephen Miller, filed a complaint on Thursday with the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility, alleging improper bias on the part of Associate Deputy Attorney General Austin Evers.
