Summary
The FAIR Justice Act makes it illegal for designated high‑level officials to ask the Justice Department to prosecute or investigate anyone solely for political purposes. It also forces DOJ employees who receive such a request to report it to the Inspector General within 45 days. Violations can lead to fines, up to five years in prison, or both.
