A nonprofit watchdog group filed suit on Tuesday in federal court seeking to force the Department of Justice (DOJ) to make public documents about the government’s surveillance of a bipartisan group of congressional staff investigators.

The group previously submitted five Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for DOJ records concerning the surveillance that began in 2016.
