Person of record
Jeffrey A. Rosen
Acting Attorney General on January 6, 2021 · U.S. Department of Justice
Jeffrey A. Rosen served as Acting Attorney General on January 6, 2021. His archive profile connects official DOJ call logs, a contemporaneous DOJ public statement, and his complete House January 6 Committee interview transcript. ## Official role and source record The DOJ Office of Information Policy released a redacted call-log packet associated with Rosen's phone for January 6, 2021. The log records times, durations, origination and destination fields, and OIP-supplied caller labels. It does not contain call audio, transcripts, or independent proof of what was discussed, and OIP cautioned that it could not independently verify the annotated identities. ## House January 6 Committee interview The complete official transcript shows that Rosen was interviewed on October 13, 2021. He discussed DOJ review of election-related allegations, contacts with President Donald J. Trump, Jeffrey Clark's proposed Georgia letter, the January 3 leadership dispute, preparations for January 6, and DOJ actions during the Capitol breach. Rosen testified that DOJ had not been presented with evidence of widespread voter fraud on a scale sufficient to change the election result. This is preserved as Rosen's testimony and the position he described for the Department, not as a substitute for the underlying investigative files. He also described communications with White House staff, members of Congress, federal-agency counterparts, and Vice President Mike Pence, as well as coordination involving the FBI, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service, DOD, MPD, and U.S. Capitol Police. ## Important metadata correction The GovInfo package title labels Rosen's interview October 13, 2022. The native transcript cover states Wednesday, October 13, 2021. The archive uses the date printed on the official transcript and preserves the package-title conflict. ## What is established The transcript establishes what Rosen told the committee under the interview procedures reflected in the record. The call logs establish that listed calls occurred according to the released records. Neither source independently proves the content of undocumented conversations, private motives, criminal intent, or the truth of every disputed assertion concerning another person. ## Factual questions **Was Rosen a January 6 defendant?** No. He served as Acting Attorney General and appears in the archive as a government official connected to primary-source records. **Is the transcript complete?** The official PDF contains 202 pages. Exhibits referenced during questioning still require separate preservation and page-level mapping. **Why does the archive use a 2021 interview date?** The official transcript cover says October 13, 2021. GovInfo's package title says 2022, creating a documented metadata conflict. ## Editorial boundary The site's editorial analysis may examine alleged or documented government weaponization. That analysis is kept distinct from Rosen's testimony, the committee's questions, DOJ records, and unresolved factual disputes. ## Research priorities The archive still needs persistent copies of the transcript and exhibits, contemporaneous DOJ and White House communications, complete operational records, unredacted call-log material if lawfully released, and source-by-source comparison of disputed testimony.

Jeffrey A. Rosen House January 6 Committee Interview Transcript
Complete official House January 6 Committee interview transcript of former Acting Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen. The native transcript cover dates the interview October 13, 2021, while the GovInfo package title labels it October 13, 2022; the archive uses the date printed on the transcript and preserves the metadata conflict. Rosen discussed DOJ review of election-related allegations, contacts with President Donald J. Trump, Jeffrey Clark's proposed Georgia letter, the January 3 DOJ leadership dispute, preparations for January 6, and the federal response during the Capitol breach. His testimony remains attributed firsthand testimony and is not treated as independent proof of every disputed claim.
