Charles Philip "Chuck" Rosenberg is the acting head of the Drug Enforcement Administration. He was appointed in May 2015 following the resignation of Michele Leonhart.
Rosenberg received his B.A. from Tufts University, his M.P.P. from Harvard University and his J.D. from the University of Virginia. He was hired out of law school through the Attorney General’s Honors Program and has served in numerous positions throughout the Department of Justice, including as Trial Attorney for the Tax Division’s Criminal Enforcement Section from 1990 through 1994, Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia from 1994 through 2000, Counsel to the Director of the FBI from 2002 through 2003, Counselor to the Attorney General from 2003 through 2004, and Chief of Staff to the Deputy Attorney General from 2004 through 2005. Rosenberg has also spent time working in private practice as Counsel at Hunton and Williams, from 2000 through 2002, and as a partner at Hogan Lovells US LLP (2008–2013).
Rosenberg was presidentially appointed and unanimously confirmed as the U.S. Attorney of the Eastern District of Virginia, from 2006 through 2008, and appointed by the Attorney General to serve as the U.S. Attorney of the Southern District of Texas, from 2005 through 2006. Rosenberg served as Chief of Staff to the Director of the FBI from 2013 to 2015. In this role, he worked closely with Director James Comey and other senior FBI officials on counterterrorism, intelligence, cyber and criminal investigative issues, including with international, federal, state and local law enforcement partners.
While serving as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Rosenberg had his share of noteworthy prosecutions. His office brought dogfighting charges against suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, who was sentenced to 23 months in prison after court hearings that drew protesters and animal rights activists.
Rosenberg was heavily involved in the government's death penalty case against convicted September 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui, who was sentenced to life in prison in 2006.
Other priorities during Rosenberg's term as US Attorney included child pornography cases, which have been increasing, along with violent crime and mortgage fraud.
During his years as a federal prosecutor, Rosenberg conducted grand jury investigations and has been the lead trial lawyer in many federal prosecutions involving espionage, kidnapping, murder, crimes against children and complex financial fraud cases.
