From Washington Examiner:

A conservative watchdog group, Judicial Watch, is suing the Justice Department for records related to possible FBI obstruction in the Hunter Biden investigation.

Judicial Watch filed the suit in response to the agency’s failure to comply with a Freedom of Information Act request submitted in August. The suit also argues the agency violated the FOIA request and that the watchdog group has a legal right to view those documents.

Notably, the request mirrors one sent by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the ranking GOP member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who penned a letter in July asking Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray regarding the same information.
