Former Vice President Mike Pence found classified documents in his Indiana home.

Classified documents were discovered in the home of former Vice President Mike Pence.

Former Vice President Mike Pence notified U.S. Congress on Tuesday that he found classified documents from his time as vice president in his Carmel, Indiana, home on Jan. 16.

After the discovery of classified documents from now-President POTUS Joe Biden’s tenure as VP at the Penn Biden Center think tank & Wilmington, Delaware, Pence’s team searched his Indiana home & the office of the political advocacy group Advancing American Freedom.

Former VP Pence notified the National Archives on Jan. 18 of a limited number of potentially classified documents discovered in two small boxes, according to his team. Two more boxes held copies of vice presidential papers. The National Archives then notified the FBI in accordance with standard procedure.

Pence’s attorney, Greg Jacob, notified Acting Director Kate Dillon McClure of the White House Liaison Division National Archives and Records Administration of the papers “containing classified markings” on January 18.

According to the Pence team, once the documents with classified markings were found, they were immediately placed in a safe. The FBI collected the documents from Pence’s home in Carmel, Indiana, on Thursday evening, Jan. 19. Pence was in Washington, D.C. for the annual March for Life at the time.

Although the documents bear classified markings, Pence’s team said that the Department of Justice or the agency that issued the documents must make a final determination on whether the documents are classified or not.
