Pence: DOJ’s Actions Under Trump and After Have Eroded Trust in the Law.

Former Vice President Mike​ Pence Speaks Out on Justice Department’s‍ Impact ‍on Public Confidence

In a recent interview, Mike Pence expressed concern over a “pattern” at the U.S. Department⁤ of Justice that has eroded ⁤Americans’‌ faith in equal treatment under the law. Pence,⁢ who served as Vice President ⁣alongside former President⁤ Donald Trump, discussed this issue during an appearance on NBC News’ “Meet The Press” with Chuck Todd.

Questioning the Appointment of Special Counsel

During the interview, Todd asked ⁢Pence for his opinion on Attorney General Merrick Garland’s decision to appoint Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss as special ⁢counsel in the Hunter Biden probe. Pence responded by acknowledging the ⁢importance of a special counsel in cases where ‌the attorney general may have ‍a potential conflict ⁢of interest. However, he also emphasized ‌the need for Congress to continue its work in uncovering​ the truth.

Pence stated, “The ‍American people have a right to know whether or not ‌President⁢ Biden’s family or he himself benefited financially ​from foreign nationals while he served as vice president.⁤ These are facts⁣ that the American people deserve to uncover.” He expressed confidence in ​Special⁣ Counsel Weiss to ‌carry out his duties ‍impartially, while also highlighting the efforts of House Republicans ⁤such as ‌Jim Jordan and Congressman Comer in pursuing the truth⁤ on behalf of the American people.

Politicization of the DOJ

Pence further pointed ⁣out instances where ⁤the Department of ⁣Justice had become politicized, citing the case of former ⁤FBI Director James Comey giving then-presidential candidate Hillary ‍Clinton preferential treatment. He argued that such actions⁢ undermined public confidence ⁣in the‍ justice system, as they demonstrated a lack of equal treatment under the law.
