Trump names Daniel Rosen as pick for next U.S. Attorney of Minnesota

Minneapolis, MNGovernment

President Donald Trump nominated Daniel Rosen, a Minneapolis litigator, for U. S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota, pending Senate confirmation. Minnesota's Republican congressional delegation endorsed Rosen, calling him “one of the sharpest legal minds” in the nation, which reflects the high expectations for his leadership. With over 30 years of legal experience, Rosen previously served as partner-in-charge of a firm’s Minneapolis office and is known for his eminent domain expertise.

His confirmation would place him in charge of about 100 attorneys and staff as the office manages intricate cases involving gangs, fraud, and child exploitation. This nomination arrives at a critical time, as the U. S. Attorney’s Office is also dealing with lawsuits challenging immigration enforcement measures. Rosen, a Navy veteran, has actively engaged in community and charitable issues, particularly those relevant to the American Jewish community.

His legal background positions him to address pressing public safety concerns amid rising crime rates in Minnesota. The Republican delegation urged a swift confirmation process, emphasizing the importance of his role in upholding the rule of law.
