The FBI is searching Pence’s Indiana home as part of a classified records probe, according to a person familiar with the search.
The FBI searched former Vice President Mike Pence’s Indiana home Friday as part of a classified records probe, according to two people familiar with the search.
The people were not authorized to discuss the law enforcement action and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
The search followed the discovery of documents with classified markings by attorneys last month.
The FBI had already taken possession of what Pence’s lawyer described to the National Archives as a «small number of documents» that had been “inadvertently boxed and transported” to Pence’s Indiana home at the end of the Trump administration.
The search Friday was described as consensual and came after an extensive back-and-forth between Pence’s legal team and the FBI.
