Rosenstein's long career as a government attorney began in 1990, when he first joined the Department of Justice as a trial attorney with the Public Integrity Section of the Criminal Division. From there, he launched into decades of prosecuting drug dealers, white-collar criminals and public corruption. As the U.S. attorney for Maryland, Rosenstein pressed for longer sentences for felons and battled inner-city gangs.
Rosenstein was a relatively unknown political figure outside of Maryland, even after being tapped as deputy attorney general and assuming oversight of Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 elections. Rosenstein drew Trump's ire after appointing the special counsel, but threw his career into jeopardy by suggesting to colleagues he secretly record Trump in the White House to "expose the chaos consuming the administration." Rosenstein also was said to have discussed recruiting cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment, which allows for the forceful removal of a president outside of the constitutional impeachment process . Rosenstein denied the reports.
Rod Rosenstein was born and raised in Lower Moreland, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia, where his father operated a small business and his mother served on a local school board. It was there, he said at his confirmation hearing before the U.S. Senate, that he learned "straightforward values."
If confirmed as deputy attorney general in a few weeks, Rosenstein would lead the DOJ's daily operations and oversee probes into ties between Trump's inner circle and Russia.
Rosenstein, 52, is a longtime prosecutor who has served under both Republican and Democratic presidents. Aaron P. Bernstein/Reuters. Attorney General Jeff Sessions loomed widely over the Senate confirmation hearing for Rod Rosenstein, President Donald Trump's nominee to be the second-ranking official in the Department of Justice.
He was part of the 1990s Whitewater investigation into President Bill Clinton's real estate investments in Arkansas, as well as a 2012 federal investigation into sensitive leaks that resulted in retired Marine General James Cartwright pleading guilty to making false statements about Iran's nuclear program.
The committee's ranking member, Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), argued that a special prosecutor was necessary to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest or political influence by the Trump administration. "To be clear, I do not say this because I question the integrity or the ability of Mr. Rosenstein.
Rosenstein wouldn't commit to appointing a special counsel, but he vowed to conduct an independent investigation overall. He admitted that he had not yet read the U.S. intelligence community's January 6 assessment of the Russia cyberattacks.
Robert Forsyth was, of course, Patrick’s predecessor. He was the very first U.S. Marshal for Georgia, appointed by President George Washington. He was also the first U.S. Marshal killed in the line of duty, and the namesake of the Marshals Service’s award for valor. He died while serving papers to two men in Augusta.
He died while serving papers to two men in Augusta. One of the men saw him coming, and in a cowardly act, fired his weapon through the door, killing Forsyth instantly. More than 400 Marshals and Deputy Marshals have made that same sacrifice since that day. Each of them was an American hero.
And as proud as he was to be a U.S. Marshal, the Marshals Service is even more proud of him – to have had someone like him wear the badge.
President Trump nominated Rosenstein to serve as Deputy Attorney General for the United States Department of Justice on February 1, 2017. He was one of the 46 United States Attorneys ordered on March 10, 2017, to resign by Attorney General Jeff Sessions; Trump declined his resignation.

After his clerkship, Rosenstein joined the United States Department of Justice through the Attorney General's Honors Program. From 1990 to 1993, he prosecuted public corruption cases as a trial attorney with the Public Integrity Section of the Criminal Division, the latter of which was led by then Assistant Attorney General Robert Mueller.
Rosenstein joined King & Spalding January 2020, a white-shoe international law firm best known for "advising Donald Trump's real estate empire." He works primarily in assisting with federal investigations.
Rosenstein is married to Lisa Barsoomian, an Armenian American lawyer who worked for the National Institutes of Health until 2011. They have two daughters. As a government attorney, Barsoomian represented the United States in various matters, including Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) cases, and the FBI's "Carnivore" surveillance system, which monitors and captures e-mail. Rosenstein lives in Bethesda, Maryland.
