Pella, Iowa — Republican candidate Tim Scott is promising to fire the head of the FBI if he’s elected president and clean out all the Department of Justice staff appointed by President Biden.
Scott held a town hall style forum in Pella Wednesday night. The final question from the crowd came from a man who said the Department of Justice is weaponized against Americans and “it’s not going to stop with Donald Trump.” Scott did not mention the recent indictment of the former president or even refer to Trump by name in his answer, but Scott used the word corrosive to describe the culture inside the Department of Justice.
Scott also told the crowd of about 250 he would make changes in the Department of Education. He proposed redirecting some federal funds to provide performance bonuses to teachers whose students advance beyond grade level.
