He served as the first black deputy attorney general during the Clinton administration.

But Holder could face some obstacles because of a controversial Clinton pardon.

He had faced criticism for not speaking up before Clinton’s pardon of financier Marc Rich who later fled United States after his indictment for tax evasion and tax fraud.
