In a letter to the National Archives obtained by CNN, Pence's representative to the Archives Greg Jacob wrote that a"small number of documents bearing classified markings" were inadvertently boxed and transported to the vice president's home.
Since the FBI searched Trump's home in Florida for classified material in August with a search warrant, Pence has said that he had not retained any classified material upon leaving office."No, not to my knowledge," he told The Associated Press in August. Some of the boxes were packed up from the vice president's residence, while some came from the White House in the final days of the Trump administration, which included last-minute things that did not go through the process the rest of Pence's documents did.
