The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was founded in 1908 by Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte. Bonaparte appointed a group of unnamed agents to be the investigation department of the Department of Justice (DOJ).Before the special agents were created, the DOJ received agents from the U.S. Secret Service to investigate federal law violations within the jurisdiction.
