He did not respond to a request for comment Saturday. During a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing last month, Rosen stated that the Justice Department “had been presented with no evidence of widespread voter fraud at a scale sufficient to change the outcome of the 2020 election.” When later asked whether he believed the election had been stolen from Trump, Rosen demurred, under strict orders from the Justice Department not to disclose “non-public information” and to “decline to respond to questions outside the scope of the hearing” — including any conversations with the president and his personal opinions — according to a May 9 letter obtained by The Washington Post.
