He has also been a member of the 9/11 Commission.
He is known for his pointed questions and criticisms of members of both the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations.
He graduated from Stuyvesant High School in New York City in 1960, earned an A.B. from Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania in 1964, an LL.B. from Columbia Law School in New York City (1967), and an LL.M. from Northwestern University School of Law in Chicago in 1968.
Ben-Veniste was an assistant U.S. attorney (1968–1973) in the Southern District of New York, and chief of the Special Prosecutions section, (1971–1973).
