Like DeSantis, Pence insisted that "when I become president, I'm going to clean house at the highest levels of the Justice Department," adding, "we're going to appoint men and women of integrity at every level that will restore the public confidence of the American people in equal justice under the law."
Pence called on U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to "appear before the American people, lay out all the facts that they know, all the relevant law in this case and answer questions until every question is answered." He stressed that "this is a sad day for America," contending that "no one would welcome this moment."
