A new classified document was found by the FBI on Friday at the home of former US Vice President Mike Pence, his spokesman told several US media. Like Joe Biden and Donald Trump before, classified documents had already been discovered in his home in Indiana, a Midwestern state, at the end of January.
This new search was organized on Friday, in coordination between the FBI and Mike Pence’s lawyers. “The vice-president has ordered his team (…) to show complete transparency until this case is resolved,” his spokesman Devin O’Malley said in a statement quoted by several media.
In the United States, a 1978 law obliges American presidents and vice-presidents to transmit all their e-mails, letters and other working documents to the National Archives. Another law, on espionage, prohibits the keeping of documents classified as confidential in unauthorized and unsecured places. The spokesperson for the former vice-president and the federal police did not respond to requests from AFP.
