The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is a federal executive department established on July 1, 1870, under President Ulysses S. Grant. It serves as the chief law enforcement and legal office of the United States federal government, overseeing domestic enforcement of federal laws, representing the U.S. in legal proceedings, and managing major agencies including the FBI, DEA, and U.S. Marshals Service. The department is headed by the Attorney General, a Cabinet-level position reporting directly to the President. In the context of UAP/UFO records, the DOJ has played a custodial and administrative role, maintaining classified documents and, as of recent years, serving as a model for declassified file releases alongside other federal agencies.
