Vice President Mike Pence informed Congress Tuesday that he discovered documents bearing classified markings in his Carmel, Indiana, home on Jan. 16 from his time as vice president.
Following the revelations that classified documents from President Biden’s tenure as vice president were found at the Penn Biden Center think tank and Wilmington, Delaware, the vice president’s team conducted searches of Pence’s Indiana home and political advocacy group, Advancing American Freedom, office.
According to his team, Pence informed the National Archives on Jan. 18 of a small number of potential classified documents found in two small boxes. Another two boxes contained copies of vice presidential papers. The National Archives then informed the FBI per standard procedure.

First on CNN: Classified documents found at Pence’s Indiana home
A lawyer for former Vice President Mike Pence discovered about a dozen documents marked as classified at Pence’s Indiana home last week, and he has turned those classified records over to the FBI, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
The FBI and the Justice Department’s National Security Division have launched a review of the documents and how they ended up in Pence’s house in Indiana.
The classified documents were discovered at Pence’s new home in Carmel, Indiana, by a lawyer for Pence in the wake of the revelations about classified material discovered in President Joe Biden’s private office and residence, the sources said. The discovery comes after Pence has repeatedly said he did not have any classified documents in his possession.

The next we will be hearing Trump put them there.
Maybe we should check ALL past President’s and Vice-President’s homes and offices. Seem everyone of them has taken classified documents with them when they left.
START with the clintons!!
Sing a song of sick Pence a pocket full of lies, four and twenty found classifieds proves he knows the spies.
When the docs were opened whistleblowers began to sing,
Wasn’t that a foul dish for men who want to be king?
The Joe was in the counting house counting all his money,
His queens inside the Whitehouse parlor calling each other honey,
Hunter in the garden laundering money not the cloths,
And down came a House investigation that nipped off the big guy’s nose.
Let us hope so.
Nice rime!!
Does anyone else believe this whole thing smells of a Deep State plot to keep candidates that they don’t like from running in 2024? It would not be a stretch to find out that someone from counter-intelligence kept tabs on who had classified documents, and then ratted them out to the press when it was convenient to do so. They hit Trump in August, hoping to put the kibosh on him announcing a run for a second term. For Biden, they waited until after the midterms, then dropped the hammer. And now we have Pence getting caught.
IT certainly smells, since SOME OF THE DOCS biden has, were from when he was a SENATOR, thus shouldn’t have even HAD THEM!
Joe not nimble, Joe not Quick, when he junps the laws, his crimes still stick.
Amazing timing isn’t it! Is Pence trying to take the heat off Biden? Personally, I would not put it past an ‘establishment’ Republican….
Me neither..
The only logical explanation why these documents stuck to all these past Veeps and current Presidents is if they were printed on fly papar,,,,and they were NOT. All are glaring evidence of either Washington incompetence or corruption,,,,probaably BOTH.. If these guys do not know how these documents got in their personal possession, I guarantee you the Chinese and Russian spies do, and have aready taken the convicting evidence to the bank,,, the same bank the so-called Blinded politicians all have overloaded personal accounts of laundered money in. Someone mishandled these classified documents and put them in the homes and offices of these people who should never been allowed to take them out of the Skiff. Their fingerprints should be all over them if the Keystone Cop FBI people knew how to do their jobs.
IF It was once, or maybe even twice, ONLY… THEN I might see incompetence.
BUT SINCE it has happened now, how many times?? That’s not incompetence..
Are you stating to get the feeling that having classified documents isn’t as big a deal as they claimed it was. Apparently, the National Archives isn’t as concerned about keeping track of all those very important and sensitive documents as they told us they were. Well, unless Trump has them that is. They were all in a lather about how he stored them and if he had actually declassified them, all the while Joe, Mike, and God knows who else has got them laying all over the place.
It certainly makes me wonder, WHY in the military, even leaving one out of our scif, EVEN IF IN A LOCKED ROOM< still got one wrote up, WHEN THESE folks, seem to be able to take them HOME with them, and its "No biggy".
