Eric Holder is an American lawyer who served as the 82nd attorney general of the United States (2009–2015). He thus became the first African–American to hold the post and the third-longest-serving attorney general in the U.S. Holder's 6-year tenure witnessed him presiding over several civil and criminal cases. He also served as a legal advisor on various complicated national and international investigations and litigation matters regarding supervisory implementation, criminal justice, and national security issues. He emerged as a prominent proponent of anti-gun policies, anti-terrorism strategy, environment safety, same-sex marriages, and maintenance of national security. Among the several notable cases Holder has been associated with, 'Operation Fast and Furious' stands out, as his failure to produce relevant documents related to the case made him the first U.S. attorney general in history to be voted for both criminal and civil contempt. He testified in front of the ‘Congress’ on the legality of the operation that killed the prime suspect of the 9/11 attacks, Osama bin Laden. Apart from serving as an attorney general, Holder has worked as part of the U.S. government for over 3 decades, under presidents Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama.
