The first Republican presidential debate is fast approaching on Aug. 23, when candidates will hope to close the gap on former President Donald Trump and separate from the rest of the pack. In this series, Up For Debate, the Washington Examiner will look at a key issue or policy every day up until debate day and where key candidates stand. Today's story will examine their stance on the Justice Department.

The former president plans to revive this order if reelected, as well as remove the"top layers" of the DOJ and FBI, Axios reported last year.
"We are not going to allow this pathogen of ignoring the law get a foothold in the state of Florida," DeSantis said when he announced Warren's suspension. Scott added, “We should be very careful on how we use this power against political opponents. That is not good for the soul of our country. We need Lady Justice to wear a blindfold.”
“Two, the second thing can also be true: If this indictment is true, if what it says is actually the case, President Trump was incredibly reckless with our national security,” she added.
