The disclosure — typically be unremarkable for a former vice president — is notable given that FBI agents seized classified and top secret information from his former boss's estate on Aug. 8.
DES MOINES, Iowa — Former Vice President Mike Pence said Friday that he didn't take any classified information with him when he left office.
Despite the inclusion of material marked"top secret" in the government's list of items recovered from Mar-a-Lago, Pence said,"I honestly don't want to prejudge it before until we know all the facts." "My reaction was, the people of Wyoming have spoken," said Pence, who was targeted at the Capitol that day by angry rioters, including some who chanted,"Hang Mike Pence!""And, you know, I accept their judgment about the kind of representation they want on Capitol Hill."
Pence's aides said the committee contacted his legal team months ago to see if he would be willing to testify. Although Pence has said he would give"due consideration" to cooperating, he was adamant that the historic nature of such participation must be warranted and agreed upon. "The concern that millions of Americans felt is only going to be resolved with daylight," Pence said Friday."I know that's not customary in an investigation. But this is unprecedented action by the Justice Department, and I think it merits an unprecedented transparency."
