"Jeffrey Rosen does not have the qualifications to be Deputy AG. He has no experience working in the Justice Department or handling criminal cases. When I questioned him about core DOJ functions, he wasn't familiar with them."

"For example, when I met with him and asked him about the landmark First Step Act, he said he had, "begun getting informed about it." When I asked him about voting rights and voter suppression, he said he hadn't had occasion to study the issue."

"When I asked him about DEA's role in setting opioid production quotas, which he will oversee, he didn't know about it. And I asked him about DOJ's role in immigration matters, including his priorities for immigration courts he'll oversee & he said looked forward to learning more."

"Mr. Rosen was a longtime colleague of Attorney General Barr at a law firm, and he has held positions in other government agencies like the Department of Transportation. But that does not make him qualified to be the Deputy Attorney General."
