Jeffrey Rosen

FEC records show Rosen made exclusively Republican political donations while at K&E (McLean, VA address). Key recipients: John Boehner (,000 + ,700 + ,300 via Boehner for Speaker and personal), Mitt Romney (,955 + ,500 via Romney Victory), Rob Portman (,650, 8 filings 2009-2015), Mike Gallagher (,100), Marco Rubio (,350), Ted Cruz (,000), Liz Cheney (), Kirkland & Ellis PAC (,250, 1992-1995), George W. Bush (,000, 1999-2004). Also gave to RNC, NRSC, NRCC. Total identified donations approximately ,000+ from 1992-2021. Consistent establishment Republican donor.

K&E revolving door network around Rosen: (1) AG Barr was K&E partner before DOJ. (2) Jeffrey Clark was K&E partner 2005-2017 before returning to DOJ. (3) Steven Engel was K&E associate 2002-2006 before DOJ OLC. (4) Rosen's chief of staff at DOJ was Patrick Hovakimian (per LittleSis). (5) Rosen was co-head of K&E DC office and on Global Executive Management Committee — meaning he was one of the firm's most senior leaders. The same firm that represented Epstein in 2008 had its senior alumni filling AG, DAG, and AAG OLC simultaneously.

Rosen's K&E client work pre-DOJ involved complex business litigation for GM, AOL, Netscape, Marriott and other major corporations. He was adjunct professor at Georgetown Law 1996-2003. At K&E he served as co-head of the DC office and on the Global Executive Management Committee (elected 1999 at age 41). His practice focused on litigation and regulatory matters. Post-DOJ he was appointed Chair of the Virginia Commission to Combat Antisemitism (2022-23), and is a member of the Federalist Society. Currently a nonresident senior fellow at AEI and of counsel at Cravath focusing on investigations, regulatory enforcement, compliance, and monitoring.

No direct Epstein connection found in document corpus. DOJ Vol 11, DugganUSA (1000 hits but all different Rosens — Gary Rosen via Brockman/JTF, Aby Rosen real estate, Arthur Rosen tax attorney at McDermott Will, Robert Rosen, Rosen Aviation displays), LMSBAND, and Unified DB searches returned zero documents linking Jeffrey A. Rosen (K&E/DAG) to Jeffrey Epstein. The Epstein corpus 'Jeffrey Rosen' hit EFTA02350642 is a different Jeffrey Rosen — a Lazard investment banker connected to Mortimer Zuckerman and Eric Gertler regarding the Daily News sale (2015). This confirms Rosen's relevance is institutional (K&E network, DOJ oversight role) not personal.

Rosen was DAG when Epstein was arrested (Jul 6, 2019) and died at MCC (Aug 10, 2019). Senator Kamala Harris specifically demanded both AG Barr AND DAG Rosen recuse from Epstein case due to shared K&E connection — Epstein's 2008 plea deal was negotiated by K&E attorneys (Jay Lefkowitz, Ken Starr). Barr consulted DOJ career ethics officials and chose NOT to recuse from the SDNY prosecution (only recused from retrospective NPA review). No public record of Rosen recusing. After Epstein's death, Rosen received briefings from Deputy FBI Director Michael Bowdich approximately every three hours on the investigation.

K&E alumni dominated both sides of the Jan 3, 2021 DOJ crisis. Jeffrey Clark (K&E 1996-2001, 2005-2017) tried to send fraudulent election letters to states. Rosen (K&E nearly 30 years) and Steven Engel (K&E 2002-2006, AAG OLC) resisted and threatened mass resignation. Trump backed down only when told entire DOJ leadership would resign within 24-48 hours. Three K&E alumni — Rosen, Engel, Clark — were the three principal actors in this constitutional crisis. Rosen testified at Jan. 6 Committee hearings June 23, 2022.
