Moving On: Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. is giving hints at what he’ll do after leaving the U.S. Department of Justice. In an interview with The Daily Beast, Holder said: “I’d like to continue being involved with issues that animated my time as attorney general—criminal-justice reform and civil rights especially. I don’t just want to give speeches; I’d like to involve myself in this work in a systematic way.” More coverage here in The New York Times and here in NPR.
