Several classified documents from the time Mike Pence was vice president for Donald Trump have been found at Pence’s home. In a statement quoted by AFP, the Republican head of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer, says that Pence has notified the Oversight Committee and is cooperating with them. Pence lives in the state of Indiana, and it was his lawyers who found the documents, according to CNN. Pence’s lawyer confirms the discovery of the papers, which will now be given to the FBI. The papers were found shortly after several discoveries of classified material on President Joe Biden, from his time as vice president under Barack Obama, from 2009 to 2016. Joe Biden’s lawyers have found documents from Biden’s time as vice president in an office where he has worked and in Biden’s garage.

Unlike Pence and Biden, Trump would not hand over the papers. His property was therefore searched by the FBI. Documents allegedly obtained by the FBI at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in August are strewn across a carpet.

It is not yet clear whether the same will happen to Mike Pence, who was vice president from 2017 to 2021. Mike Pence has repeatedly said he does not have any classified documents with him. In a letter to the US National Archives, Mike Pence’s lawyer, Greg Jacob, writes that the papers should not have been there. – It appears to be a small number of documents marked as classified, which were inadvertently put in boxes and transported to the private residence of the former vice-president when the previous administration finished the work, writes Jacob, according to NTB.
