Republican presidential candidate Mike Pence promised to "clean up the Justice Department at its highest levels if elected president," as he said many Americans have "lost faith" in justice.
Pence's remarks, which were set to air Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," come as former President Donald Trump, the current GOP frontrunner, faces 37 federal felony charges related to classified information he had stored in his private residence in Florida.
Trump has called the indictment "political persecution" and his allies and some of his 2024 opponents have attacked the Justice Department for bringing the charges.
Speaking with host Chuck Todd, Pence promised sweeping reforms to the department's leadership if elected, saying he would assemble a team, starting with an attorney general, an FBI director, other senior staff appointees political, people confirmed by the United States Senate, who are respected by both parties, who are seen as men and women of integrity, who will apply the law fairly and equally.
Pence asserted that the charges in the indictment against Trump are "serious" and that "no one is above the law," but said the indictment just continues to feed the notion among the American people that there are two standards for justice in this country.
