The US Senate Committee on the Judiciary held a Deputy Attorney General nomination hearing Wednesday for Jeffrey Rosen, who currently serves as the Deputy Secretary of Transportation.

In his testimony, Rosen highlighted several areas on which he would focus if confirmed.

For example, we will work together to combat violent crime and the opioid epidemic ravaging our communities. We will work together to implement the President’s and Congress’ bipartisan goal, enshrined in the First Step Act, of giving Americans convicted of certain offenses another chance at a productive life. We will, each day, work together to ensure the rights, the safety and the security of all Americans.

If confirmed, Rosen would replace current Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
