Eric Holder, the former U.S. attorney general hired by Uber Technologies Inc. to investigate sexual harassment claims, pledged to act with complete independence in his review of how the company handled the situation.

Speaking for the first time since he was appointed as a lead on an examination of the company, Holder said Uber has given him “carte blanche” and that he has the power to determine whether management is culpable. He said he would leave “no stone unturned,” responding to concerns about his impartiality expressed by two Uber investors.
