Jeffrey Rosen confirmed by Senate as Justice Department’s new No. 2

By Devlin Barrett Devlin Barrett Reporter focusing on national security and law enforcement Email Bio Follow May 16 at 3:17 PM The Senate on Thursday confirmed Jeffrey A. Rosen to be the new deputy attorney general, succeeding Rod J. Rosenstein, whose Justice Department tenure was marked by tension with Congress and the White House over the special counsel investigation into President Trump.

During his confirmation hearing last month, Rosen declined to promise Democrats that Congress would receive the redacted portions of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report cataloguing the findings on Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible obstruction of justice by the president.At that hearing, Sen. Richard Blumenthal warned Rosen that he would lose Democratic votes if he did not make such a promise. Rosen said only that he would follow department policies.

Now that he has been confirmed, Rosen will probably have a role in the Justice Department’s escalating battles with Congress over access to Mueller’s complete report and its underlying investigative materials and witness interviews. The contempt vote followed a decision by the president to invoke executive privilege for the first time in his administration.

Rosenstein bids farewell to Justice DepartmentDeputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, said goodbye to the Justice Department. 'Justice is in good hands,' he told a crowd of well-wishers Not sure about that but it could not be in much worse!!!! Justice is not in good hands, has he not been reading the papers or is/was he part of the corruption? He used his real name and has no secret service protection now. The President Trump administration went in and removed everyone else’s secret service protection. Even President Obama’s secret service protection is gone. He hires his own bodyguards.
