Justice Department investigators on Friday searched the offices of former Vice President Mike Pence’s political advocacy organizations, continuing the recent focus on top officials' handling of classified documents.
According to The Hill, three previously redacted documents turned up. But there were no new records with classified markings discovered in the search at Advancing American Freedom’s office in Washington, D.C. Pence adviser Devin O’Malley said in a statement quoted by the news organization. The searchers took one binder with “approximately three previously redacted documents.”
Those documents are believed to be from Pence’s preparation for his vice presidential debate back in 2020, a source said to be familiar with the matter indicated.
The Hill said Friday’s search offered federal agents unfettered access to the office space and lasted for several hours, with Pence legal representatives present for the duration.
As previously reported, the FBI last week searched Pence’s home in Indiana after a small number of documents with classified markings were found there last month. That effort turned up one added classified doc.
Officials had searched Pence’s home for classified documents after sensitive government materials were found at President Joe Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, and in offices he'd prevously occupied at the Penn-Biden Center in Washington.
Classified documents have also been taken by authorities from former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.
The spate of discoveries has fueled lawmakers' concerns about policies concerning the handling of classified materials and potential security lapses.
