Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina vowed Tuesday that he will clean house at the Department of Justice and FBI if elected president, saying it is needed to restore confidence in the justice system.

Nikki Haley, now one of his presidential-primary rivals, following the resignation of Sen. Jim DeMint.
