Former Vice President Mike Pence’s lawyer has discovered a small number of documents marked as classified at Pence’s Indiana home and has turned them over to the FBI.
The documents were discovered last week at Pence’s new home in Carmel, Indiana, by a lawyer for Pence in the wake of the revelations about classified material discovered in President Joe Biden’s private office and residence, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
In a letter dated Jan. 18, attorney Greg Jacob told an official with the National Archives and Records Administration that Pence’s counsel conducted a search of the home last week following the discovery of documents marked classified at President Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware, house and in his former office at a think tank in Washington, D.C.
It is not yet clear what the documents contain or why they were at Pence’s home. The FBI is now in possession of the documents and is investigating the matter.
Pence’s lawyer has not commented on the matter, and the FBI has not released any information about the investigation. It is unclear how long the investigation will take or what the outcome will be.
