“Let me be clear about something: Those classified documents should not have been in my personal residence,” Pence said Friday.
MIAMI — Former Vice President Mike Pence said Friday that he takes “full responsibility” after classified documents were found at his Indiana home.
“Let me be clear about something: Those classified documents should not have been in my personal residence,” Pence said at Florida International University, where he was talking about the economy and promoting his new book, “So Help Me God." “Mistakes were made.” The announcement of the documents in Pence's possession came five months after he told The Associated Press that he did not take classified documents with him when he left the vice presidency. “No, not to my knowledge,” he said when asked if he had retained any such information.
Pence said he decided to undertake the search of his home “out of an abundance of caution” after recent disclosures by Biden's team that documents were found at his former office and in his Delaware home.
