Attorney General Merrick Garland has 'multiple options' for handling the investigation into former Vice President Mike Pence’s improper retention of classified records.
Former New York federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy and ex-Bush White House press secretary Ari Fleischer sound off on "The Story."
Pence informed the National Archives on Jan. 18 of a small number of potentially classified documents found in two boxes. Another two boxes contained copies of vice presidential papers, and all of them were immediately put into a safe, according to the Pence team. The FBI seized classified records from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Florida last August during an unprecedented raid. On Nov. 18, Garland appointed former DOJ official Jack Smith as special counsel to investigate the matter.At the time, Garland had already chosen U.S. Attorney John Lausch to conduct a review of classified records that were discovered at the Penn Biden Center. In December, more classified records were found at Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware, home.
U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has options for dealing with former Vice President Mike Pence's classified documents. But Eisen told Fox News Digital that it is highly unlikely that Pence's case would be taken over by Smith, the special counsel investigating the Mar-a-Lago documents. Comparing Biden and Pence, Eisen said there is"every indication that this was accidental," but he predicted that Garland would take several weeks to determine how he will handle the Pence case.
