'Pence had undertaken a search for those records in response to reports relating to President Biden's mishandling of classified information,' Kise's filing states.'The following day, DOJ bypassed the standard procedures under the Presidential Records Act' and 'requested direct possession of the documents, and sent FBI agents to Pence's Indiana residence to collect the documents late at night,' Kise adds.
