Rod J. Rosenstein (born January 13, 1965) is an American lawyer and politician of Jewish descent.[2] He is the 37th United States Deputy Attorney General serving from April 26, 2017 through May 11, 2019. He was the United States Attorney for the United States District Court for the District of Maryland and a former nominee to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
Then President-Elect Donald Trump nominated Rosenstein to serve as United States Deputy Attorney General for the United States Department of Justice on January 13, 2017. He was confirmed by the Senate on April 25, 2017 by a vote of 94-6.[3][4] Following the resignation of Jeff Sessions as United States Attorney General at the request of President Donald Trump, Rosenstein also served as acting United States Attorney General for a few hours on November 7, 2018 until President Donald Trump signed an executive order naming Matthew Whitaker as acting United States Attorney General later that day.[5]
