There he prosecuted financial fraud crimes, violent crimes, and espionage cases. During the last two years of his tenure as a federal prosecutor in Alexandria, Mr. Rosenberg supervised that office's Major Crimes Unit - the unit that prosecuted numerous prominent spy cases. While in private practice with the law firm of Hunton & Williams, Mr. Rosenberg served as an NBC legal analyst, appearing frequently on television.
