WASHINGTON—Nonprofit government watchdog Judicial Watch is suing the Department of Justice (DOJ) for all communications between a former FBI general counsel and a law firm at the center of the Russia collusion scandal.
The lawsuit was filed after the FBI failed to respond to an Oct. 5, 2018, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking copies of all communications between then-FBI general counsel James Baker and Michael Sussmann, a former DOJ attorney and a partner with the Perkins Coie law firm.
