- The Senate approved Rosen in a 51-47 vote on Tuesday as part of a single action covering more than 100 Trump nominees.
- Rosen is a Minnesota native and University of Minnesota Law School graduate with roughly 30 years of commercial litigation experience and prior Navy service.
- He will replace acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson following Andrew Luger’s resignation earlier this year, with Lisa Kirkpatrick also having served on an interim basis.
- Rosen takes over as the office continues the Feeding Our Future fraud probe and the Vance Boelter homicide prosecution, along with other public-programs fraud cases.
- Minnesota’s four Republican U.S. House members recommended Rosen, while Sens. Tina Smith and Amy Klobuchar voted against the nominations package, citing concerns about some Trump picks.
