Obama attorney general ___ Holder (4)
I believe the answer is:
eric
'obama attorney general holder' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for eric that I've seen before include "One of pair once popular" , "Great Norwegian explorer .... the Red" , "---- Cantona, Manchester Utd favourite of the 1990s" , "--, or Little by Little (Dean Farrar)" , "Boy's name" .)
