Eric Holder, the former U.S. attorney general, will return as a partner at the law firm he had exited more than five years ago to join the Obama administration, according to a statement from the firm.
Holder, who ran the Justice Department from 2009 to 2015, will return to Covington & Burling. He was previously a partner there from 2001 to 2009, according to the firm.
He will "focus on complex investigations and litigation matters, including matters that are international in scope and raise significant regulatory enforcement issues and substantial reputational concerns," the firm said in the statement.

Holder said returning to the firm is "like coming home."
"I couldn't be happier to rejoin the firm and to have the opportunity once again to work with its exceptional lawyers and staff, for whom I have such high regard," he said. "I am returning to Covington for the same reasons that drew me to the firm in the first place — its commitment to excellence in the service of clients, a collaborative and team-oriented culture, and a dedication to pro bono and public service."
Holder is the third longest-serving attorney general in American history and the first black person to hold the post.

Few months ago, Holder said:
Trymaine Lee: What do you look forward to most as you prepare to step away from the Obama administration and into the next chapter of your life?
Eric Holder: What I look forward to is continuing the work. I’m still, in my own mind, a relatively young guy. I’m still sound of mind and ready to continue to do the things that have always interested me during the course of my career. Looking at the whole question of criminal justice reform, finding ways in which we build or rebuild trust between communities of color and people in law enforcement.
Those are the kind of issues that I want to work on and to come up with an entity of some sort, that would be associated with a larger body that would allow me the opportunity to continue this type of work and find allies — people who are in law enforcement, people who are representative of communities of colors, and other communities — so that we start with a dialogue and come in with concrete steps to really rebuild that relationship
