WASHINGTON - President-elect Donald Trump plans to nominate Rod Rosenstein, the US attorney in Maryland, for the job of deputy attorney general, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing a person familiar with the matter.

If confirmed in the No. 2 spot at the Justice Department, Rosenstein would be in charge of any investigation into Hillary Clinton, after Trump's choice for attorney general, Senator Jeff Sessions, said during his confirmation hearing on Tuesday that he would recuse himself from any Clinton-related matters.

Rosenstein was appointed to his current post by Republican President George W. Bush in 2005, and remained there during the administration of Democratic President Barack Obama.
