CBS "Face the Nation" interviews for 2023 races: on Crime


Chris Christie: We need change at DOJ: remove anyone who shows partisanship

We need change at the Department of Justice. And, if I'm president, you can be guaranteed that we'll put an attorney general in there who will lead without fear or favor and clear out anyone who does show partisanship. What we're looking at is, people seeing things as being inequitable, that, if you don't prosecute Hillary Clinton, and you choose to prosecute Donald Trump, that that raises real questions in Republicans' minds. And it should.

Asa Hutchinson: Shouldn't promise pardons during presidential campaign

Q: Should Trump be pardoned for the good of the country, as Ambassador Haley suggested?

HUTCHINSON: No. First of all, that should not be any discussion during a presidential campaign. You don't put pardons out there to garner votes. That is premature. Obviously, if there's a conviction--

Q: You think that's what she's doing?

HUTCHINSON: Well, I think that anybody who promises pardons during the presidential campaign is not serving our system of justice well and it's inappropriate.
