Eric Holder weighs in on the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol: “To be frank, I think that the Justice Department could have done a better job”
ric Holder, who led the Department of Justice as attorney general under President Obama, criticized the Biden Justice Department's approach to prosecuting the Jan. 6in Martha's Vineyard on Tuesday.
In the wide-ranging interview, Holder, a leading advocate for the Democratic Party’s voting rights and redistricting efforts, also called on business to defend affirmative action practices and projected the odds of Trump being convicted before the 2024 election.you describe the moment when you went to Selma with President Obama and Rep. John Lewis. You said one of the reasons you wanted to be there was because, you wrote, for the first time, Americans were making it harder, not easier, to vote.
This lawsuit is something that I think has to be fought in every way that we can. And I think the business community, too, typically underestimates the strength that it has. If the business community were to say, Don't do anything, Supreme Court, to hinder our ability to do things, to keep ourselves diverse, to keep our focus on making us a more inclusive society…the studies show this has an impact on our bottom line.
The U.S. justice system is not designed to move quickly. What is the likelihood that we could have a complete trial and conviction of the former President Trump prior to the 2024 presidential election?with the former President as the single defendant, that case is designed to be tried before the election…That's the way the case was constructed.
