(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) The FBI is expected to search former Vice President Mike Pence's
house in Indiana and office in Washington for additional classified
materials soon, sources familiar with the matter tell cnn , trend reports.
Pence's representatives have been in talks with the Justice
Department over the searches and have expressed that they want to
completely cooperate.
The Pence team does not believe there are classified documents
either at his home or at his office as they have done what they
considered an extensive search themselves, a source said.
CNN reported last month that earlier in January, a lawyer for
Pence found about a dozen documents marked as classified at the
former vice president's home. The former vice president had
directed his lawyer, Matt Morgan, who has experience handling
classified material, to conduct the search.
A source who was briefed on some of the Pence documents
previously told CNN that the government papers recovered from his
home were“lower level” classification, without any“sensitive
compartmented information” or“special access programs”
markings.
On Wednesday, the FBI completed a search of President Joe
Biden's Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, home and found no documents with
classified markings, according to Biden's personal lawyer.
In the wake of the classified document discoveries at Pence,
Biden and former President Donald Trump's homes, the National
Archives formally asked former presidents and vice presidents to
re-check their personal records for any classified documents or
other presidential records, CNN has reported.
