Who Is Matthew Whittaker? @MattWhitaker46 @NowThisNews

Here's how Matthew Whitaker went from selling hot tubs to being the man in the DOJ who could kill the Mueller investigation.

After Jeff Sessions resigned at President Trump's request, Donald Trump asked Matthew Whitaker to step into the role as Acting United States Attorney General for the Trump administration's Justice Department. With Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States presidential election now resting in the hands of a new acting head of the United States Department of Justice, the Russia probe may be at jeopardy even more so than before.

Founder, Social Media Manager & Content Creator at Pinoybuilt.com. Photographer. Former IT Product Manager at Pacific Gas & Electric. I'm a 1.5 generation immigrant—Filipino-born, U.S.-raised—sharing stories that bridge cultures. Share yours at PINOYBUILT.com. I’m still learning about our roots, and I invite you to learn with me. I was born in Makati City and raised in Marikina, known for world-class shoes and strong community ties. I went to Marist School; my sister went to St. Scholastica’s. We spent weekends in Malate—those memories of old Manila still shape who I am. At 9, we moved to Chicago, where I saw snow for the first time. At 12, we relocated to Vallejo, CA. Since then, I’ve lived in Davis,Glendale (SoCal), back to Chicago in my 20s, San Francisco & Fremont. I visit SoCal often for family. Chicago will always be special—but go Golden State Warriors! At UC Davis, I was a member of Mga Kapatid, where I had the chance to participate in Pilipino Culture Night and perform traditional dances like Bangko. Now, as a father of three, I’m doing my best to pass on our Filipino heritage. Let’s build something Filipino together. Mabuhay.
