Jeffrey Adam Rosen (born April 2, 1958) is an American lawyer who has served as the United States Deputy Attorney General since 2019, and will become Acting United States Attorney General in the last four weeks of the Trump administration upon the resignation of William Barr on December 23, 2020.[1] Prior to assuming his ongoing role, he was a senior partner at the law firm Kirkland & Ellis and was the United States Deputy Secretary of Transportation.[1]
Education and early career
Rosen graduated from Northwestern University with a Bachelor of Arts in economics in 1979. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School, receiving his Juris Doctor in 1982.[citation needed]
Rosen joined Kirkland & Ellis in 1982.[2]
He left the firm in 2003 and began working for the U.S. government.[2] From 2003 to 2006, Rosen was general counsel at the United States Department of Transportation and acted as counsel for Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta.[3][4][5][6]
In 2006, Rosen moved to the Office of Management and Budget where he was general counsel and senior policy advisor until 2009.[6] While at the OMB, he criticized "regulatory overreach" and opposed EPA plans to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.[6] He also served as a representative of the U.S. government on the board of directors of Amtrak.[1]
Rosen returned to Kirkland & Ellis in 2009.[2] From 2015 to 2016, Rosen chaired the American Bar Association's Section of Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice.[7]
On May 16, 2017, Rosen was confirmed as United States Deputy Secretary of Transportation by a 56–42 vote.[8] There he served under Secretary Elaine Chao.[6]
Deputy Attorney General
On February 19, 2019, President Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate Rosen for the position of United States Deputy Attorney General, succeeding Rod Rosenstein upon his departure from the Department of Justice. He was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on May 16 by a vote of 52–45.[9] His nomination to become the second-highest law enforcement official was unusual, as Rosen had no previous prosecutorial experience.[6] Attorney General William Barr had urged Trump to choose Rosen as his deputy.[10] Rosen was sworn in on May 22, 2019.[11]
In June 2019, Rosen sent a letter to New York state prosecutors inquiring into the case of Paul Manafort and indicating that he would be monitoring where Manafort would be held in custody. Shortly thereafter, federal prison officials informed New York state prosecutors that Manafort would not be held in Rikers Island. Current and former prosecutors described this decision as unusual, because most individuals held in custody while awaiting federal trial are held in Rikers Island, a prison with a reputation for violence and mismanagement.[12]
On July 30, 2020, Rosen wrote a letter to the president of the Puerto Rico Elections Commission denying the commission's petition to the U.S. Justice Department to recommend the disbursement of $2.5 million—earmarked under the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014 for an educational campaign regarding the political future of the Island—to be used in connection with the plebiscite on the political status of Puerto Rico slated to be held in November 2020. Rosen gave as reasons for denying the request that there was insufficient time for the government to complete the request and that the Puerto Rico legislative bill that gave way to the holding of the plebiscite contains statements that the Justice Department did not concur with; namely, that it is not clear that the People of Puerto Rico have rejected the territorial status. The bill authorizing the 2020 plebiscite was drafted to elicit a simple “yes” or “no” answer from the voters to the question: “Do you favor Puerto Rico being immediately admitted to the Union? Yes or No.” [13]
On December 14, 2020, it was announced that Rosen would become acting Attorney General on December 23, when William Barr's resignation takes effect.[14][15]
