Pence asked outside counsel to look for records with classified markings following recent reports about documents found in President Joe Biden’s Delaware home, his counsel said.
A number of classified documents was discovered last week at former Vice President Mike Pence’s Indiana home, according to two letters Pence’s counsel sent to the National Archives.
Greg Jacob, said the documents were discovered on Jan. 16 after Pence asked "outside counsel" to look for records bearing classified markings following the recent news about documents found in President Joe Biden's Delaware home.
Pence's team “immediately” secured the classified documents in a locked safe, Jacob said.
On the evening of Jan. 19, after the National Archives alerted the Justice Department to the records, FBI agents came to Pence's home to retrieve the documents that had been stored in a safe, Jacob said. He said Pence was in Washington, D.C. to attend the March for Life at the time, but still “immediately agreed” to the collections of the records that were secured in a safe.
