Former Vice President Mike Pence’s house in Indiana and office in Washington are to be searched by the FBI for additional classified materials soon, according to CNN.

Pence’s representatives have been in talks with the Department of Justice over the search and have expressed that they want to completely cooperate.

Former Vice President Mike Pence notified Congress on Jan 24 that he discovered documents bearing classified markings in his Carmel, Indiana, home on Jan. 16 from his time as vice president.

Pence informed the National Archives on Jan. 18 of a small number of potentially classified documents found in two small boxes.

Another two boxes contained copies of vice presidential papers. The National Archives then informed the FBI per standard procedure.

Pence’s attorney Greg Jacob wrote to Acting Director Kate Dillon McClure of the White House Liaison Division National Archives and Records Administration to inform her of the papers “containing classified markings.”

After the documents with classified markings were discovered, they were immediately put into a safe, according to the Pence team.

The documents were collected by the FBI at Pence’s home in Carmel, Indiana, on Thursday evening, Jan. 19. Pence was in Washington, D.C. for the annual March for Life when the FBI collected the documents.

This comes as Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed a special counsel to take over the investigation into President Joe Biden’s potential mishandling of classified documents.
