WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has allowed the republic of Sudan to hire its first U.S. lawyer in years, prompting strong objections from human-rights groups. Bart S. Fisher, a veteran international trade lawyer, is being paid $20,000 a month by Sudan to help the strife- torn African nation in its attempts to have U.S. economic sanctions lifted and be removed from the State Department’s list of terrorism-sponsoring governments, according to federal registration documents.
