Minnesota has a new United States attorney. On Tuesday, the Senate approved President Trump's nominee, Daniel Rosen.

Rosen is a Minnesota native and graduate of the University of Minnesota Law School.

He comes with 30 years of experience as a commercial litigator at the federal and state levels.

"We are confident that Mr. Rosen will fight to protect Minnesotans, and their hard-earned tax dollars, from the scourge of crime and fraud we've seen in our state," Majority Whip Tom Emmer, a Republican, said.

Minnesota Democratic Sens. Tina Smith and Amy Klobuchar voted against the bloc of more than 100 nominations that included Rosen.

"Senator Smith voted no on this group because she's concerned too many Trump nominees put loyalty to him ahead of service to the American people," Smith's office said. "She hopes Rosen proves different and serves all Minnesotans with fairness."  

"During a summer marked by violence in our state, Joe Thompson led the office with integrity and dedication. As our next U.S. Attorney, Dan Rosen, who was recommended by a nominations committee formed by Congressman Emmer and composed of attorneys and former judges in our state, must continue the important work of combating crime and advancing public safety," Klobuchar said. "Dan will be following in the footsteps of many fine U.S. Attorneys who, regardless of political background, have been committed to justice and the rule of law."

Rosen's predecessor, Andrew Luger, resigned earlier this year. Lisa Kirkpatrick and Joseph Thompson served as acting U.S. attorneys in the interim.
