If you didn’t take any secret documents home with you, throw the first stone. Former US Vice President Mike Pence has alerted the National Archives that he has “discovered a small number of documents that may contain sensitive or classified information” at his Indiana home, CNN and the New York Times revealed Tuesday.
After discovering sensitive documents on Donald Trump and Joe Biden, Mike Pence conducted a search on January 16 and two days later alerted the National Archives, which keep documents and correspondence from all American administrations after an arrest warrant has expired. The Archives then warned the FBI that keeping classified documents was a criminal offense.

He has never knowingly done anything dishonest in his life. Leave him in peace! »
