The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) is an executive department of the federal government responsible for the domestic enforcement of federal laws and the administration of justice. It is headed by the U.S. Attorney General, a Cabinet member who reports directly to the president, and encompasses agencies and divisions overseeing criminal prosecution, civil rights enforcement, national security, and antitrust regulation. The department functions as the equivalent of justice or interior ministries found in other countries.
