Rod Rosenstein, the former deputy attorney general who oversaw the Russia investigation, will testify about the probe Wednesday as President Trump seeks to undo its impact on his administration.
As deputy attorney general, Rod Rosenstein oversaw the Russia investigation for two years, pushing back on White House criticism and declaring it wasn’t the “witch hunt” that President Trump had claimed.
His testimony comes as Trump and his allies pursue a sweeping campaign to undo the results of the special counsel investigation, which ended in March 2019 after producing charges or convictions against 34 people., Trump’s former national security advisor and the only former White House official charged in the probe. Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to federal agents but later claimed he was innocent.Barr and Rosenstein stood side by side when they released Mueller’s final report last year.
The legal and political tumult over the Russia probe reflects Trump’s enduring anger over an investigation that cast a shadow over the first two years of his administration.Mueller did not establish a criminal conspiracy between the president’s team and Moscow, which spread disinformation on social media and hacked Democratic Party emails during the 2016 presidential race.
