    By Mike Scarcella and Cheryl Miller | September 1, 2017

    From one U.S. attorney general to another, Eric Holder Jr. recently offered Jeff Sessions some leadership advice. Holder's observations were not solicited. "I urge you not to force them to further defend the indefensible—the president's inhumane and unjust executive orders," the Covington & Burling partner wrote to Sessions. Holder's letter, written on behalf of the California Senate, was attached to an amicus brief California lawmakers filed in support of Chicago's challenge to Trump administration immigration policies.
