The first U.S. attorney general in history to be held in criminal and civil contempt by Congress has targeted Republican justices on the Texas Supreme Court, arguing Republicans are racist and Democrats need to be in control of redistricting.
In 2017, former Attorney General Eric Holder, with support from former president Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, created the National Democratic Redistricting Committee to execute “a comprehensive redistricting strategy that included shifting the balance of power away from total Republican control of redistricting.”
