On Tuesday, classified documents were found in former Vice President Mike Pence’s home in Indiana.
The development is ironic to say the least considering Pence once hammered former President Donald Trump for having classified documents in his possession.
“Did you take any classified documents with you from the white house?” Pence was asked during an interview with ABC News after classified documents were found in Trump’s home.
Pence replied: “I did not.”
ABC News host David Muir followed up: “Do you see any reason for anyone to take classified docs from the White House.”
“There would be no reason,” Pence ironically said.

On Tuesday, classified documents were found in former Vice President Mike Pence’s home in Indiana.
The news was confirmed by Pence’s lawyer who said about a dozen documents were found in the home.
Check out what CNN reported:
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 those classified records over to the FBI, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
The FBI and the Justice Department’s National Security Division have launched a review of the documents and how they ended up in Pence’s house in Indiana.
The classified documents were discovered at Pence’s new home in Carmel, Indiana, by a lawyer for Pence in the wake of the revelations about classified material discovered in President Joe Biden’s private office and residence, the sources said. The discovery comes after Pence has repeatedly said he did not have any classified documents in his possession.
It is not yet clear what the documents are related to or their level of sensitivity or classification. Pence’s team plans to notify Congress on Tuesday.
The news from Pence comes after President Joe Biden has found a trove of documents throughout his home and office.
Yesterday, we reported that Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas, the current head of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and a member of the GOP, likened the recent discovery of numerous confidential documents at President Biden’s Delaware residence to the Watergate scandal that led to President Nixon’s resignation.
