Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein testifies on Crossfire Hurricane Investigation before Senate Judiciary Cmte – LIVE at 10am ET on C-SPAN
At the hearing, which begins at 10 a.m. EDT, Rosenstein will testify as to his role in overseeing the department’s investigation into potential collusion with Moscow by members of President Donald Trump’s campaign during the 2016 election. The two-year investigation was known as “Crossfire Hurricane.”
Rosenstein will testify before the Senate judiciary committee in his first appearance in Congress since he resigned a year ago.
Senate Republicans are expected to focus on how Rosenstein signed off on a warrant application for surveillance against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, as well as his decision to appoint special counsel Robert Mueller to take over the investigation after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey and Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself.
“There’s a lot of water under the bridge since he appointed the special counsel,” said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. “The FBI basically interfered in the election. So there’s a lot to learn.”
