Andrew Weissmann serves as the chief of the criminal fraud section of the U.S. Department of Justice. He is taking a leave of absence from the Department of Justice in order to work on the Russia probe.
“Andrew Weissmann is an extraordinary attorney with an incomparable dedication to the pursuit of justice,” Assistant Attorney General Caldwell said when Weissman became chief of the DOJ’s criminal fraud section. “As his deep experience demonstrates, many of the top officials throughout the Department of Justice have come to rely upon his wise counsel over the years, and I am pleased to welcome him back to the Criminal Division.”
From 1991 to 2002, Weissmann worked in the office of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. In this position, he tried a number of crime families including the Gambinos. In addition, from 2002 to 2005, Weissmann served as director of the task force investigating the Enron scandal. This was the Justice Department’s investigation into fraud at the American energy company Enron.
Weissmann has previous experience working with Robert Mueller. When Mueller was director of the FBI, Weissmann served as his general counsel, according to the U.S Department of Justice.
In addition, Weissman worked at the law firm Jenner & Block for five years, “where he worked on a broad range of matters including ones involving securities fraud, antitrust, health care fraud and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act,” according to the Department of Justice.
Weissmann donated $2,300 to the 2008 campaign of Barack Obama, according to Open Secrets.
