A lawsuit was filed Tuesday against Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice (DOJ) in regard to allegations that the agency failed to enforce having Hunter Biden register as a foreign agent.

America First Legal, a conservative group, said in its suit that the DOJ and Mr. Garland had an obligation to enforce President Joe Biden’s son to register with the agency while he was sitting on the board of Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings Limited.
