Who Is Rod Rosenstein? Trump Pick for Deputy Attorney General Would Oversee Russia-Ties Investigation

President Donald Trump's nominee for deputy attorney general was scrutinized during a contentious confirmation hearing on Tuesday while appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The hearing had an extra level of tension baked in as Rod Rosenstein will be tasked with either leading the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and Moscow's relationship to Trump's campaign or appointing a special prosecutor

Rosenstein faced an onslaught of questions pertaining to Russia and the recusal of U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions during his confirmation hearing for the deputy position.

Trump nominated Rosenstein — who is described as a nonpartisan straight shooter who has worked for both Democratic and Republican presidents — for the position in January, before his would-be boss was embroiled in any Russian-related controversy.

Currently the U.S. attorney for the District of Maryland, Rosenstein, 52, has worked for the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Department of Justice for 26 years, according to the Department of Justice website. He was unanimously confirmed as U.S. attorney in 2005 after being appointed by President George W. Bush, and was then retained by President Barack Obama.

Rosenstein is the only U.S. attorney appointed by a previous administration to last all eight years of the Obama administration, according to the New York Times.

A graduate from Harvard Law School — where he edited the Harvard Law Review — Rosenstein started his career with the Department of Justice in 1990. He then served as counsel to Deputy Attorney General Philip B. Heymann in President Bill Clinton's first term.

Rosenstein was nominated by President George W. Bush to be Maryland's United States Attorney in May 2005, and was confirmed unanimously by the senate a month later.

In 2012 he was appointed by then-Attorney General Eric Holder to oversee a federal investigation into sensitive leaks that resulted in Retired Marine Gen. James E. Cartwright pleading guilty to making false statements about a covert U.S. cyber attack on Iran's nuclear program.

A decade earlier, Rosenstein was also a part of the Whitewater investigation into President Bill Clinton's real estate dealings in Arkansas, which resulted in three convictions.

And just this month, his office was involved in prosecuting and indicting seven Baltimore police officers for federal racketeering crimes.
