Former Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that even though he has been living outside of politics since leaving the Department of Justice more than two years ago, he is looking to get back into the political fray.

“Up to now, I have been more behind-the-scenes,” said Holder in an interview with Yahoo News. “But that’s about to change. I have a certain status as the former attorney general. A certain familiarity as the first African-American attorney general.”
