Latest revelations may ease pressure on Biden and Trump who also face investigations into how they handled such material
The discovery of the documents is particularly embarrassing for Pence as several weeks ago he specifically denied taking any classified material when he left office. He also welcomed the appointment of a special counsel to investigate how Biden had handled secret files.
Biden has said he was surprised that classified documents had been found, and the White House this week suggested that he did not know the material was present in his house and former office. James Comer, the Republican chair of the House oversight committee, said Pence “agreed to fully co-operate with congressional oversight and any questions we have about the matter.” Comer had promised to investigate Biden over the classified documents found in his home and office but did not signal such an inquiry into Pence.
He said in a letter to the national archives that Pence had been unaware that the documents were at his home and was “ready and willing to co-operate fully”.
