Lawyer accused of illegally lobbying for Sudan grabs Justice’s attention

The Justice Department is scrutinizing a lawyer for the U.S.-sanctioned Sudanese government who has drawn controversy for representing the regime in Washington.

Bart Fisher, who has been hired to provide legal services to Sudan, has received a phone call from a Justice official and a letter from the head of Justice's Foreign Agents Registration Unit, according to new Justice records.

The Treasury Department took fire from lawmakers in both parties after it came to light that Fisher was granted a license to represent Sudan from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Several on Capitol Hill, including Reps. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) and Mike Capuano (D-Mass.), have said Fisher's license should be revoked, given the African country's history of alleged war crimes.
