TFG-era Justice Department leader Jeff Rosen has agreed to testify at House January 6 hearing

Jeffrey Rosen, the acting attorney general in the final weeks of the Trump administration, has agreed to testify publicly before the House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Rosen and other former Justice Department officials were invited to testify as the House panel prepared to present its findings from the yearlong investigation, but they were unable to immediately accept without the department's sign-off. During the investigation, Rosen sat for an interview behind closed doors and recounted to the House committee how he came under persistent pressure from former President Donald Trump to throw the weight of the Justice Department behind the former president's effort to discredit the 2020 election results.

Rosen is set to testify on June 15 with two other former Justice Department officials: His onetime top deputy, Richard Donoghue, and Steve Engel, who led the department's Office of Legal Counsel under the Trump administration.
