Former Vice President of the United States, Mike Pence, joins the list of US politicians who had classified documents at their homes
A dozen documents considered classified were found at the home of former United States Vice President Mike Pence located in Carmel, Indiana.
According to a report published this Tuesday, it was Pence’s lawyer, Greg Jacob, who discovered these documents last week and immediately notified the National Archives to be turned over to the FBI, reveals CNN.
It was Mike Pence himself who asked his lawyer to conduct a precautionary review of his new address to find out whether or not there were classified documents.
In the place the lawyer found four boxes where there was a small number of documents with official seals, anonymous sources told the American network.
This information comes at a time when Mike Pence repeatedly denied having classified documents in his possession and was highly critical of US President Joe Biden over the documents.
Mike Pence’s team is expected to notify Congress of this new document discovery shortly.
In this way Mike Pence joins the list of politicians who have found classified documents such as the current US president Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump.
Mike Pence, who was vice president of the United States from 2017 to 2021, stood by Donald Trump for most of his term but distanced himself from him after the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
