"Mike Pence's Pledge to Clean House at DOJ Signals Break from MAGA Republican Identity"

Former Vice President Mike Pence, who is running for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, vowed to "clean house" at the Justice Department if elected, aiming to restore its reputation by hiring individuals of integrity who will apply the rule of law equally. While Pence refused to identify as a "MAGA Republican," he expressed pride in the accomplishments of the Trump-Pence administration and criticized the mishandling of the Russian investigation and the handling of Hillary Clinton's email server investigation.
