Attorneys with Big Law ties will play prominent roles in the House Jan. 6 committee hearings this week, as former Kirkland & Ellis partner Jeffrey Rosen testifies about Donald Trump’s efforts to sway the Justice Department toward the former president’s post-election goals.
Richard Donoghue, former acting deputy attorney general and now a partner at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman in New York, will join Rosen, the former acting U.S. attorney general, at the June 15 hearing.
Also joining Rosen will be Steven Engel, a Dechert partner who led the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel. On June 16, Greg Jacob, an O’Melveny & Myers partner and former counsel to Vice President Mike Pence, is scheduled to testify on efforts to pressure Pence to not count certain electoral votes.
The lawyers follow William Barr into the hearing spotlight.
At the opening hearing on June 9, lawmakers played a recording of testimony by Barr, a former Kirkland & Ellis lawyer who served as Trump’s attorney general. Barr told the House panel in the testimony that Trump’s election fraud claims were “bull——.”
