FBI to search Mike Pence’s Indiana home for more classified documents 

The FBI is expected to search former Vice President Mike Pence’s Indiana home for more classified documents. 

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday on the move, with sources saying that the Justice Department is in talks with Pence’s legal team.

Last month, Pence’s lawyers voluntarily disclosed that documents with classified markings were discovered at the ex-veep’s home – on the heels of classified documents being found at President Joe Biden’s former D.C. office and Wilmington home, and after former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago was raided by the FBI for missing documents in August. 

The documents were discovered by one of Pence’s lawyer, who had been tasked to look through his papers at the vice president’s request, out of the abundance of caution.

They were found on January 16, with Pence’s lawyer Greg Jacob writing a letter and informing the National Archives of the discovery on January 18.

Jacob asked a top Archives official for help ‘collecting and transferring to the custody of the National Archives an additional set of Vice Presidential records.’  

‘The additional records appear to be a small number of documents bearing classified markings that were inadvertently boxed and transported to the personal home of the former Vice President at the end of the last Administration,’ Jacob said. 

‘Vice President Pence was unaware of the existence of sensitive or classified documents at his personal residence,’ the lawyer added.
