Agents from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) went to former Vice President Mike Pence’s Indiana home Friday morning (local time) in search of more possible classified documents.
Already at the end of January a lawyer of Pence searched that home, by order of the former vice president, for the possible existence of secret files. A «small amount» of classified documents, including notes on foreign travel, were eventually found.
Friday’s search of Pence’s home has been agreed between the former vice president’s team and the Justice Department itself, according to an official of the Police Department told NBC.
The search for classified documents in Pence’s private premises comes after the FBI itself searched in August the mansion of former US President Donald Trump in Mar-a-Lago (Florida). On that occasion, dozens of secret documents were discovered.
Later, in 2023, lawyers for the current president, Joe Biden, have located several batches of confidential files in various rooms, such as a private office in Pennsylvania or in a private home in Delawere.
The documents seized from the president date from the time he served as President Barack Obama’s ‘number two’, between 2009 and 2017. Biden has denied being aware of having such files in his possession.
