The Justice Department searched the Washington, D.C., office of former Vice President Mike Pence on Friday and found no classified documents.
The office at Advancing American Freedom, Pence's public policy group, contained three previously redacted documents, according to NBC News. They were removed by authorities."The vice president has consistently cooperated with appropriate authorities, has been fully transparent, and looks forward to the imminent conclusion of this matter," spokesman Devin O'Malley told the outlet.
Earlier this month, the FBI searched Pence's Indiana home, where they found an additional classified document. Pence coordinated the search of his home with the DOJ, unlike the August 2022 raid on former President Donald Trump's residence at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. The former vice president told the National Archives last month that he had found classified documents from his time as vice president at his home. The discovery came after the revelation that Trump and President Joe Biden were found to have improperly stored classified documents.The DOJ has not announced any action against Pence but has appointed special counsels to investigate Trump and Biden.
