First on CNN: Classified documents found at Pence's Indiana home (CNN)

A lawyer for former Vice President Mike Pence discovered about a dozen documents marked as classified at Pence's Indiana home last week, and he has turned ...

They went in commonly into what was called a burn bag that my military aide would gather and then destroy those classified materials—same goes in materials that I would receive at the White House.” The boxes were not in a secure area, but they were taped up and were not believed to have been opened since they were packed, according to Pence’s attorney. “The bottom line is I don’t know how this happened, we need to get to the bottom of it,” said Sen. Still, Trump’s legal team also viewed the Pence development as positive for the former president, according to a source familiar with the matter. A lawyer for Pence told CNN that the FBI requested to pick up the documents with classified markings that evening, and Pence agreed. The revelations also come amid speculation that Pence is readying for a run at the Republican nomination for president in 2024. On Friday, the FBI searched Biden’s Wilmington residence for additional classified material, an unprecedented search of a sitting president’s home that turned up six additional items containing classified markings. Federal investigators took that step because they believed Trump had not turned over all classified material despite a subpoena and were concerned records at Mar-a-Lago were being moved around. The classified material was stored in boxes that first went to Pence’s temporary home in Virginia before they were moved to Indiana, according to the sources. “Vice President Pence was unaware of the existence of sensitive or classified documents at his personal residence,” Jacob wrote. Sources said that the attorney, Matt Morgan, began going through four boxes stored at Pence’s house last week, finding a small number of documents with classified markings. The discovery comes after Pence has repeatedly said he did not have any classified documents in his possession.

Este viernes, el FBI registró la residencia de Biden en Wilmington en busca de material clasificado adicional, una búsqueda sin precedentes en la casa de un presidente en ejercicio que arrojó seis artículos adicionales que contenían marcas clasificadas. Los investigadores federales tomaron esa medida porque creían que Trump no había entregado todo el material clasificado a pesar de una citación y les preocupaba que los registros en Mar-a-Lago se estuvieran moviendo. El material clasificado se almacenó en cajas que primero fueron al hogar temporal de Pence en Virginia antes de ser trasladadas a Indiana, según las fuentes. “El vicepresidente Pence desconocía la existencia de documentos confidenciales o clasificados en su residencia personal”, escribió Jacob. Un abogado de Pence le dijo a CNN que el FBI solicitó recoger los documentos con marcas clasificadas esa noche y Pence estuvo de acuerdo. El descubrimiento se produce después de que Pence dijera repetidamente que no tenía ningún documento clasificado en su poder.
