The announcement comes just days before Mike Pence is expected to announce his 2024 presidential bid.
The US justice department will not pursue criminal charges against former Vice-President Mike Pence over his handling of classified documents.The news comes just days before he is expected to announce his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.
From the outset of the investigation, Mr Pence's team said that the documents had been "inadvertently" stored in boxes that were not in a secure area at his Carmel, Indiana property.In a letter to the National Archives in January, Mr Pence's attorney said neither the ex-vice-president nor his counsel reviewed the contents of the boxes. Soon after, the documents were retrieved by FBI agents.
The announcement will put Mr Pence on a collision course with his former boss, Donald Trump. The relationship between the two has become strained over time, particularly after Mr Pence refused to try to derail the certification of the 2020 presidential election on the day of the 6 January US Capitol riot.
