FBI raids ex-US vice-house president's

(RT) ⸻ FBI agents searched the Carmel, Indiana home of former US Vice-President Mike Pence on Friday, reportedly in search of any more classified documents beyond the "small number" previously disclosed by his lawyers. The search comes a day after Pence was subpoenaed by special counsel in an investigation of former President Donald Trump. Special counsel Jack Smith is looking for testimony from Pence in the probe of Trump's conduct after the 2020 presidential election. The classified documents search appears to be a separate matter, however. Last month, Pence's lawyers volunteered that some documents with classification marks had been found at his home. Attorney Greg Jacob wrote to the National Archives that Pence had hired "outside counsel" to search for such documents and that a few papers had been "inadvertently boxed and transported" to Carmel at the end of the Trump administration. The documents were "immediately" secured in a locked safe on January 16, and the FBI came to collect them several days later. Biden and Trump are currently under special counsel investigation over the classification matter, complicating their 2024 presidential bids. Pence has also signaled he would run for the Republican nomination next year.
