Former Vice President Mike Pence recently asked an attorney to review four boxes of documents stored in his Indiana home. This was done in response to the discovery of classified documents in President Joe Biden’s home in recent weeks.

The attorney found around a dozen classified documents in the boxes, which have since been turned over to the FBI. This comes after the FBI searched former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort to retrieve classified documents.

When asked in Iowa whether he had taken any classified documents, Pence responded that he had not. However, Pence’s attorney found a handful of documents with classified markings on them. Pence promptly turned the documents over to the FBI, according to a letter Pence representative Greg Jacob sent to the National Archives.

The documents were found a week after Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel to investigate President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents. It is unclear what the documents contained or why they were stored in Pence’s home.

The FBI is currently investigating the documents to determine their origin and whether any laws were broken. It is also unclear if Pence or any other individuals will face any legal consequences.
