The FBI conducted a consensual search of former Vice President Mike Pence’s home in Indiana on Friday and retrieved one document with classified markings and other materials.
Lawyers for Mr. Pence previously disclosed that classified documents were mixed in with materials at the home, fueling concerns about the number of government secrets showing up at former leaders’ offices and residences.
The scope of the search included both papers with classified markings and materials that might be covered by the Presidential Records Act, which says that any records created or received by the president as part of constitutional, statutory or ceremonial duties should be considered the property of the U.S. government.
They did not find classified documents but left with handwritten notes from Mr. Biden’s time as vice president.
