Classified documents discovered at Pence's home, too, his lawyer says

“A small number of documents,” taken into FBI custody last Thursday, “were inadvertently boxed and transported” to the former vice president's home at the end of the last administration, Pence's lawyer, Greg Jacob, wrote in a letter to the National Archives shared with The Associated Press.

Trump is currently under criminal investigation after roughly 300 documents with classified markings, including at the top secret level, were discovered at his Mar-a-Lago. Officials are trying to determine whether Trump or anyone else should be charged with illegal possession of those records or with trying to obstruct the months-long criminal investigation.

Jacob said the Pence documents with classification markings were immediately secured in a locked safe. FBI agents visited the residence the night of Jan. 19 at 9:30 p.m. to collect the documents that had been secured, according to a follow-up letter from the lawyer dated Jan. 22. Pence was in Washington for an event at the time.

Pence told the Associated Press in August that he did not take any classified information with him when he left office.In an interview this month with Fox Business, Pence described a “very formal process” used by his office to handle classified information as well as the steps taken by his lawyers to ensure none was taken with him.

“In my book, it's never permissible to take classified documents outside of a secure facility” except by a secure means of transport between such facilities, he said.

2 ways to react to this: The Biden: “sorry, it was a huge mistake, I sincerely apologize, please take them back” The Trump: “they don’t exist”… “they’re mine I’m the president!”… “I can declassify them with my mind”… “no you can’t have them back!”… “witch hunt!”…

Lawyer Finds Classified Documents in Mike Pence’s Indiana Home'Pence asked his lawyer to conduct the search of his home out of an abundance of caution, and the attorney began going through four boxes stored at Pence’s house last week, finding a small number of documents with classified markings.' What weakens the case against Trump is that he was the only one of the 3 who could de-classify documents. What are they supposed to do? Ask again, then issue another subpoena that he’d ignore? Dude’s attorneys just got sanctioned $1 million by a judge. He’s a pure bad faith actor. Zero reason to give him the benefit of the doubt.
