The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee voted on Thursday to approve President Donald Trump's Deputy Attorney General nominee Jeffrey Rosen, an action that now paves the way for Rosen to receive a confirmation vote by the full Senate.

The panel voted in favour of Rosen's nomination despite protests from Democrats, who argued that Rosen's lack of experience as a prosecutor should disqualify him from the job.
