We investigate the infinite, straight, rotating cosmic string within the framework of Einstein's general theory of relativity. A class of exact interior solutions is derived for which the source satisfies the weak and the dominant energy conditions. The interior metric is matched smoothly to the exterior vacuum. A subclass of these solutions has closed timelike curves both in the interior and the exterior geometries.
